[opensuse] [12.3 64Bit Final] - Fantastic! - "O.S. of the Year"!
Hi, openSUSE 12.3 64Bit Final is an awesome Operating System. It brought me back to Linux after running Windows 8 since October 2012. Thanks for making this great OS... P.S. - I'm running KDE version(Gnome died in my mind with end of version 2) JeZ+Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are you sure there are no gotchas? The last time I "upgraded" to the latest edition of anything, the newest release had some showstoppers that made wiping the disk and reinstalling averything from the previous version. While generally new versions include great new protections against different vulnerabilities discovered in previous versions, sometimes they represent a huge waste of time (compare Ubuntu 12.10 vs 12.04 - and I generally like ubuntu as much as Suse, or Windows ME vs Windows NT or Windows Y2K, and I like Windows 7, but am wary of going to Windows 8 since Windows 7 is so good, I fear MS may have dropped the ball again as I am told Windows 8 is very different). While I value getting the latest releases, generally, I don't want to be the one bleeding on the bleeding edge....

Of course you are right to be careful. I'd never recommend you upgrade so soon on a mission critical machine. So far, the only issue I hit was the dead network post install, but that's easily sorted. Been running it almost a week now. And can't fault it. Boot time is really improved too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Actually dead network is almost the worst thing which could happen if your machine is a remote one. In my case 9/10 machines are remote ones. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It seemed to sort itself out after I tinkered a bit.... This is what happened on my system with a 12.3 install last night: - Immediately after install, I had no WiFi networking (well supported Atheros chipset WiFi, so I know it's not a driver issue) - Open YaST > Networking - Switched from ifup to NetworkManager - YaST complained that Networking was not started - Opened NetworkManager, and defined my WiFi config - It attempted to connect and kind of did. Very unstable connection that constantly dropped - I rebooted - On restart, I got a popup asking for my WiFi password (even though I entered and saved it in the earlier config step) - WiFi started working normally. I'm not sure what exact combination of steps I did that got it working, but... those steps do need to be done locally. If you're over a remote connection with WiFi, you're not going to have a lot of fun. I didn't seem to have any issues with wired network - this worked OK from install.

What happend in October 2012? Suddenly was no more working Linux Distro available or suddenly Windows 8 became better then everything else? And now a few hours after 12.3 has been released everything has changed again? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
