Thanx for the heads up on HP and printers. I'll follow that path and see what happens. I've heard the Leap commercial too many times. I chose Tumbleweed BECAUSE it is a rolling release. That means that if I ever get it working, I won't have to install a new Linux next year or some other time down the line, and start over. (And THIS start over has been a brute, compared to the start a year ago!) (If you've been reading the mail for a while, You know that my previous PC bit the dust big-time a couple of months ago.)
In TW you get updates every week. Usually small, but tons of them, instead of a relatively big controlled change once a year. Every change that hits Leap eventually, hits TW first. And hits people often unawares, because it is here that the experiments are done and solved.
You keep referring to Tw as expermental. Tw is not experimental, that is Factory. Everything in Tw has been tested in Factory and solved there, first.
And for the record, I have never /installed again/ openSUSE in my main machine since around year 2000, using what is now called Leap.
not so, you have "installed again" whenever you did a "zypper dup". It even advises such: "You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories." granted, it is not a "bare metal" install. Please stop the confusion you generate about Tumbleweed. It is a solid and stable operating system. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
