[opensuse] Putting openSUSE 10.2 through its paces
Sooner than anyone expected it, Novell Inc.'s openSUSE community Linux distribution project has delivered a new version: openSUSE 10.2. As a dyed-in-the-wool SUSE user since S.u.S.E Linux 4.2 first appeared in 1996, I decided to immediately give this version a try. I'm far from the only one. According to Distrowatch's page hit ranking of Linux distributions, openSUSE has overtaken long time number one distribution Ubuntu over the past seven days. by Steven J.

I'm missing the "over".
Last 6 months (default): 1 Ubuntu 2438 down 2 openSUSE 2101 up 3 Fedora 1426 up 4 MEPIS 1063 up Last 30 days: 1 openSUSE 2548 down 2 Ubuntu 2223 down 3 Fedora 1304 down 4 MEPIS 1035 up and the 7 days is as in your list. The Distrowatch numbers are probably influenced with users that are testing new features as last 30 days, that capture new 10.2 downloads, show. Second fact for high number of Ubuntu downloads might be fact that they offer Live CD and many people trying linux will rather keep their system untouched. It is interesting that Knoppix, IMHO by far better live CD, is not more popular. This is possible with Knoppix too, but than you are on your own for updates from Debian. It seems that many go for a solution that is Live CD, but offers installation and support. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
