[opensuse] About tumbleweed/factory
Hello all! I have a good 13.1 install in my notebook, but since I have to perform a hardware upgrade (change of HDD and memory), I was wondering if my next install (probably 13.2)wouldn't benefit from being a rolling release. It's an i5 notebook, using the intel integrated graphics and intel chipset (so no nVidia/ATI drivers needed). The only concern I have is that I normally use VirtualBox to test different Windows and Linux configurations as part of my "day" job, and at least before the factory/tumbleweed unification, Virtualbox was not totally supported. Can someone confirm me if this is still the case? are there any other caveats I should be aware of? Is there a way to install directly in rolling release mode, or is it preferable to install a working 13.2 setup and then change repos? I know, a lot of questions... any clue is welcome ;-) Best regards, -- Pablo M.

I would not put Tumbleweed on a work related machine. Even less Factory, of course. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Carlos, Given what was called Factory 2 months ago is called Tumbleweed today, what do you mean by Factory in that sentence? The only thing I can think of is the ISOs that are submitted to autoQA for testing. I hope none of us would consider something that hasn't even passed autoQA a candidate for a work related machine. In fact not even for a test machine unless you are testing why autoQA is failing.

What is currently called Factory, aka untested upstream of Tw, similar to what was Factory a year ago. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
