(SuSE is going from bad to worse at each "improvement" "release" since Novell bought the German company. I downloaded the CD of 10.3 Beta 1 together with the CD of the ADDON-NON OSS Bi-Arch and there is NO way that I can install all the files/applications: there is no Midnight Commander, no kernel source, no pico or nano, no kradio, et alia.)
That's why it's called "beta".
No, that is not why it is called a BETA.
Furthermore, we are not talking about a Beta 1 release of a version 1 but of version 10.3.
Now, somewhere in between a version 1 and a version 10.3 someone, anyone, with a bit of brain and nous and know-how would have figured out on what has to be put into place, and how software should be tested by staff being paid on writing it and administrating its implementation and release on the open market, to have the software in a state where it CAN be called a BETA and have people spend their time and money in downloading the product to be able to make judgements about its efficacy and offer suggestions on how to improve it.
Cheers.
I don't think it make any sense for us to expect a beta version to be perfect. It's always buggy before the ultimate completion. OS worked out by MS can even be buggy anyway. Basically, I don't see it any good for people who are not pros in OS and programming field to use BETA version (any kind of beta), especially when we are talking about Linux Distros. They are not MS product and much more complicated. So if you are a pro or a programmer, then you'd better stay cool and find out that bug which annoyed you so much and then report it or even mend it. If you are not, just like most people, why don't you go back to openSUSE 10.2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
