[SLE] Re: [OT] Taking A SuSE Vacation; Hopefully Short
What an excellent post. Open and honest without getting nasty. Nice one. I think it speaks for all those who are aghast at the poor release that 10.1 is. I'm not speaking from personal experience so castigate me if you wish. I was going to try 10.1 but with so much negativity I shalln't... for a while anyway. I shall be getting a copy of 10.1 later in the week but onyl because it comes with Linux Magazine. I shall probably wait a month or so before installing for some decent updates to be made available.... unless I feel heroic :-)))) I'm not giving up on SuSE though. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.

Glad to hear it! I've been reading some of the negative comments re v10.1, but I have to say that apart from one problem (a bug I believe) in YAST when trying to test printers, I have had no problems. I have installed v10.1 on an Athlon 2200XP box and on a IBM Thinkpad T21. On the Athlon box, I've got my internet/email access working. TV/radio and CD playing are OK. I've been doing quite a bit of photographic image downloading and processing via Gimp (ufraw is great for handling RAW files) and some admin work via Open Office. I've been using Kstars (a planetarium app -- part of the kdeedu package) and have used this on the laptop to drive my astronomical telescope mount. The compilers (gcc/g++) seem to work OK. There's still lots to try out, but no problems so far. For a desktop I reckon v10.1 is good. Can't speak for sys admin types. Have a good holiday.

I'm not giving up on SuSE though. Good thing. I popped the Suse 10.1 disk from Linux magazine into this laptop told it to run from the dvd, and it worked like a charm. Surprisingly fast... I think , like the Knoppix disks, that is a pretty good indication that it would be fine on install.
All the things, not related to hardware I do not have worked fine. Sound and other items often a hinderance on lappys was happy to go thru it's paces. If it were my laptop, I'd back up required configuration files, and my data and do it . I will be installing it on my own machines as soon as I'm set up --. j There is nothing wrong w/ me.
