Quoting Basil Chupin
I suggest you give the existing live images a try to see how much you like it.
From what I just looked at, at least it looks like it is possible to have a clean desktop without having icons cluttering it. Yes, no? :-)
Yes. It is actually more complicated to get stuff on the desktop (not even sure this is foreseen in GNOME 3 final. The desktop as is no longer is)
There are two booleans: home-icon_visible and trash_icon_visible. Switch them to FALSE (remove the tick) and the icons will disappear.
OK, I'll check this out. Those switches are for gnome 2... so we're still discussing different versions of gnome
Are you in the US?
No I am not "there" - I am in Australia. Ok.. not sure of the quality of mirrors in .au
Seems there is only one mirror for 11.4 update for example there: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.4/ (quick look.. might have missed something). Check for example http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/repodata/repomd.xml.mirrorlist This will give information on how mirrorbrain detected your situation and what it suggests for your location. If different servers would perform better, it would certainly be worthy to note this in a bugzilla ticket
It would be very nice if one could, as in something like Ubuntu, allow the repo handler go and select the most efficient local mirror for you (or you can pick one yourself if you wanted). Would even be nicer if this occurred during the installation process whereby some local mirror would be used and not the main server from which downloads are at less than dial-up speed.
That's what mirrorbrain is doing: it favors the most local servers for you. All links pointing to download.opensuse.org are being appropriately redirected. Granted: as noted above: mirrorbrain might have a wrong information about availability of some specific sites and speeds... bugs help to get them sorted.
