There never was an openSUSE 5.3; there was a SuSE 5.3 (I think)
Having used and PAID for S.u.S.E v5.3 through about 9.3, I have to agree with many of Peter's rants in some ways.
Pulseaudio certainly hasn't been all peaches-and-cream but it does provide real advantages and after updates it works OK on 11.1 (the latest *release*). Seriously? It has been years since Beagle CPU hogged; recent versions have been very stable and consumed minimal resources. The functionality provided is wonderful.
And this is part of the problem. Since it works and doesn't cause you problems, then people complaining about them must be wrong. Beagle's been a useless PITA for many since it was introduced. I don't even install it anymore, mainly because I have NEVER found ANY use for a Desktop Search tool. As I have stated repeatedly, when I work on a customer's system(generally Windows, but the same applies), they don't know they have it or why it's there, and when I tell them their system will run faster without it, they all say chuck it. Desktop Search is an answer looking for a problem.
That's a KDE thing, so I don't know anything about it. For good performance and stability use GNOME.
This is also pointless. I have NEVER liked Gnome. Why not tell him to run BSD instead?
This doesn't have anything to do with openSUSE; this is an issue with ALL distributions. But the one-click install well documented on the website solves this problem efficiently.
Unfortunately, this is the case. Thank all your representative governments for making it illegal to watch a lawfully purchased DVD on your system of choice.
Who are these "people"? They *purchase* a distro?
I would if I thought it was worthwhile. I have yet to even run 11.1 on a production system. 10.1 was an unmitigated disaster(let's force in a new package system in Beta 3 AFTER feature freeze and then release with a broken package system anyway). I, and many others who didn't have broadband, purchased S.u.S.E for mnay years, and we came to expect great things from it because that's what we got. I spent more on S.u.S.E. than any other computer related thing ever. Probably well over $500. That was how we supported our choice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
