How about a survey about memory? There was just a big debate over it in another thread, and I for one would be interested to see How much RAM and what type people use. Other than a point of interest what purpose would this serve?
Well, since more and more people are using over a Gig(and I am one in 1 system), but a lot of us are still using older systems that have a lot of life left that only have 128-512MB RAM. It would be nice to see exactly how much demand there is for optimizing for slower systems. I for one don't like having stuff running that wastes resources like beagle and stuff. For those that want/need it fine, but for those of us who have limited resources, then a lower end optimization would be great. Kinda like the stuff they tried awhile back like SUPER and stuff.
How about a survey that can affect the future path of OpenSuse?
Why not survey wireless network cards (working or not working) usb devices Video Cards DVD/HD/BlueRay drives
These things have an impact on where Linux users would want time and effort of the developer's spent?
Come to think of it, what happened to the automated hardware survey that Suse used to have, and Ubuntu still does have.
Where did all those results go?
No idea, but I agree, it would be nice to see where we stand on these issues. Having almost all networking removed because I deselected the fingerprint reader was very irriatating. Or having to install support for Irda(Have NEVER used it), firewire(have had it, NEVER used it), etc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
