I installed Fedora 7 because I need different distributions for a project that I'm working on. I'm gonna write here some short impressions as far as usability is concerned, from the point of view of and experienced Linux user that it an absolute newbie to Fedora and Gnome (I use openSUSE and KDE). I believe that these kind of first impressions are very valuable input. It would be extremely interesting if we could gather such data from users of other distros that are trying our openSUSE for the first time... Here they are: * Installation is very easy and pleasant. * Gnome is simple and easy to understand, but it seems limited to me, I like KDE more :-) * updates went perfectly, by themselves * SHOWSTOPPER: I needed to install gcc. It took me 1 minute to find "Add/Remove Software", because I was expecting to find it around System, not in the Applications menu. Anyway, not a problem. Then, after selecting gcc from the search results, it gave me an error saying that it cannot find the repository. _I could not find a way to add a repository_ I looked 5 minutes in the menus and still don't know. I'll google it. This means usability failure, IMO. We don't have this problem in openSUSE. However we can still improve by providing a link in YaST Installation Sources to what will come out of this project http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Portal This is going to work like "Get new addons" from Firefox, except it will be for whole repositories instead of single addons. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ux+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ux+help@opensuse.org
