Playing With Beta 4
I just wanted to report that OpenSUSE 10.0-Beta4 installed well on my recently acquired Dell C610 laptop. By comparison, I'm using SUSE Pro 9.2 on my primary box. Here's the good, the bad, and the untried, from my perspective: The Good: <> I do like the unified system menu (same menu across KDE/GNOME/etc.) <> Boot time is just 55 seconds from boot menu to login (5-7 secs slower than Ubuntu on the same laptop - not a problem <> Kodak CX6200 works out of the box (froze up my whole system on 9.2) The Bad: <> GNU Emacs and XEmacs in 2 different categories - make up my mind <> No PostgreSQL <> No XFce <> Changing the GNOME theme to "QT" in the Advanced Theme Settings dialogue caused a number of dialogues popping up about windows not responding, Nautilus wanting to be shutdown or restarted, etc. Sorry, I did not get all the specific messages. The whole session went wild, with me needing to use [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Bspace] to exit. <> Evolution won't let me create new contacts - or events/notes - nothing. strange!!! I did note the warning at intial launch about this being a beta. But one would think it would at least let me enter data! The Untried: <> Haven't tried my old Handspring Visor - if this works out of the box, I'll shout "hallelujah". <> Haven't played with the power management features yet, but so far, things are going fairly smoothly. <> Internet Connection - no DSL for my laptop at work (This is a Monday night or Tuesday task) These are just initial observations. I hope this will be useful to the OpenSUSE team. Don -- DC Parris Libre Software Advocate http://matheteuo.org/ "Hey man, whatever pickles your list!"

Please report the above in bugzilla.novell.com as bug.
<> No PostgreSQL <> No XFce
Should be both on the ftp server.

Thanks, it is - and if this goes into bugzilla, the engineers will work on it, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Handspring Visor worked with KPilot/Kontact out of the box as well. Tonight I'll try the Internet connection. I'll be sure to visit the Bugzilla site this evening as well. Don
I am looking for an id3 tag editor that will embed cover art into the files, much like what iTunes can do. I have an mp3 player that can display cover art when it is embedded as a part of the id3 tag. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sean
