11.2 on 2 test boxen, one a Dell laptop with Intel duel-core Centrino and 2G RAM and an HP desktop with a dual-core Opteron and 4G of RAM, are FASTER running with openSUSE 11.2 and KDE than Ubuntu 9.10. This I consider an important feat. Yast has even more ability than in 11.1. Anyone who's used Yast is hard pressed to want to leave it. ;)
I have an idea that 11.2 will be the distro. all others are measured by.

I cannot disagree with this.
But what I fear most right now is that the wrong decisions will be made to keep pushing the "bleeding edge" rather than consolidating and getting the 'almost-show-stopper' bugs resolved.

Additionally, until there is some resolution of the Long Term Support issue, the short life span of most releases means none but the hobbyist will be moving from Ubuntu, certainly not any of the OEM's releasing Linux machines. Ubuntu LucidLynx due in April will be the next LTS version. OpenSuse's LTS is still a pipe dream. http://lwn.net/Articles/350229/ Its just pretty hard justify OpenSuse on Aunt Nellie's machine when you know you will have to do it all over in 18 months. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
