OK, you can easily argue that these apps are not "necessary" to do "real work" whatever that is.. but in Lynn's case, it's a test for Linux as a home computer, not a server, not a "work" computer.
Well expressed. Maybe that's what I should have included in the original post. That's what it's become for me. OK Update. I installed 11.2 from the kde live cd on a dell gx260. I have Internet and kde4. I am 4 hours into the install and cannot change the screen resolution beyond 800x600 on a 1440x900 flat screen, (there seems to be no option in Yast anymore to be able to do this) I cannot play videos and my (given old) quickcam express doesn't work. kmail was easy. Next I must install the packman repository or find the opensuse one click install for the codecs or mplayer or WHY. I now have a home computer running Linux on a single computer. I never thought I'd get this far. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
