[opensuse] Good News! - The Canterbury Distribution
Saw this on all of the distro home pages except for Gentoo. A very intriguing idea "The Canterbury Distribution We are pleased to announce the birth of the Canterbury distribution. Canterbury is a merge of the efforts of the community distributions formerly known as Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux. The target is to produce a really unified effort and be able to stand up in a combined effort against proprietary operating systems, to show off that the Free Software community is actually able to work together for a common goal instead of creating more diversity." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, Canterbury comes up on the Gentoo home page as if it is its own. Google is returning posts suggesting it's a hack or an April 1 joke. If so, masterfully done. If for real. very interesting - especially given the diversity of the distros. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It is intriguing, but I assume April Foolery is at play. -- -Chris Innis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I pre-ordered the usb memory stick version last week and it arrived today. It installed flawlessly on my ageing pentium II with 128Mb RAM. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I received mine yesterday and installed it on my new dual quad-core machine w/ 16G of ram. what a screaming OS. Some commands even finish _before_ I hit the enter key. -- Ken Schneider -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I understand it has the bleeding edge functionality of factory combined with the stability of SLES. Very cool. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

On my test laptop here, the install finished before I even put the disc in. Now *that's* fast. :D Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
