Just did a network install of 11.3 RC1 on my Dell laptop. I connected every USB dodad to see how hardware discovery went. Overall, things look really good. I had only these things happen (that I found thus far): 1. In the network install, the initial attempt at finding the install server failed. It then went to a character-based version, where I could specify the wi-fi and not eth0 should be used. I did not see that option in the GUI install. Perhaps I missed it. But the character install got the 11.3 install parts, and then it was business as usual with the openSUSE GUI install. 2. On my nvidia chipset, it used the Nouveau driver, which is now the default. Whereas the effects work with the the NVidia driver on 11.2, this driver keeps disabling the effects. I will see if I can get the driver to work. If not, I will change to the Nvidia driver. 3. Sound. But then again, it would not be a SUSE distro without sound issues... Sound works in YaST. But programs like Amarok emit no sound from internet audio sources. They claim to be playing something. But I hear nothing. I will sort this out. I am only describing what you get out of the can. Perhaps there is a simple solution. My overall impression is that 11.3 looks to be a keeper. For us, the last keeper (we tell our customers to buy) was 10.3. Maybe we are a .3 release user. But I think this release is worth a look. Tonight I will check out the new lightweight desktop. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
