Yes, that´s looks good. I think a professional user is a person, who works as admin. But he can be a person who likes computers, especially running Linux and he know many about this system and his issues or something like this. I think, a professional user can be put in two groups: - Nerds, Geeks and Hackers: I think this is explaining by his self. - The Home/Business-Pro: He knows many about Linux, can fix the system and do the things Raiko M. says before. regards kdl -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Rajko M.

How do you propose we reach agreement on a strategy prior to defining the terms used in the strategy?
ie, if we agree that openSUSE is for "professional users", how would you expect anyone to agree on that strategy without a definition for what a "professional user" is?
Simple, any user who considers him/herself a "professional user".
Yes, that is one of options :) My understanding of professional use case, in its widest meaning, is that there should be no interruptions in daily work, but if it comes to problems way back to stable environment should be as easy and fast as possible. What that means in practice? A lot of improvements to current defaults, like: * take special care of software that can break whole system, ** list all packages that can do that * keep old copy handy for easy replay, ** above listed packages will always have backup copy * make one stable kernel always present as alternative, ** to prevent guesswork, let user decide which kernel is stable Power users than can fix system, will benefit from having easy replay, because they will spend lesser time reverting problematic changes, more doing what they think it is a purpose of computers. Distro will benefit from such system as users will not be afraid to install newer versions if going back to working stuff is easy. Where easy doesn't mean: going to YaST Software Management and digging in tabs (Version) to find some numbers as versions, without notion of last installed , previous installed. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
