- Andytom, on 04/19/2008, -2/+30It's kinda sad that KDE and Gnome look nice but XFCE is ugly as sin. More people would probably use it if it had some polish and an openSUSE theme.
- RobLoach, on 04/19/2008, -1/+26Great work, guys! Seeding.
- HalFTW, on 04/19/2008, -0/+24Found this hilarious link from the article: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/qt4-rocks.p ...
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+24OpenSuSE continues to be the one of the most usable and most beautiful distros out of the box.
There are so many distros that need to take a few lessons from the OpenSuSE team on design.
I've always loved OpenSuSE. - Deanjo, on 04/19/2008, -7/+30The best distro keeps getting better.
- FunkyPenguin, on 04/19/2008, -2/+22Onwards and upwards. Another fine job.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+18Announcing uDontBelongOnDigg version SoLargeOfANumberWeStoppedKeepingTrack
So hard, it must be, to come up with this stuff. - apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -5/+22No, we're not worried because we recognise the FUD. See http://opensuse.org/FAQ:Novell-MS
openSUSE is a project sponsored by Novell. As are OpenOffice.org, X, the Kernel, KDE, GNOME, etc. Even if you have an irrational hatred of Novell, do you also avoid using these? - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -4/+20Oh no, It's not Ubuntu, It's hype may actually match it's quality!!
Hide it from the Windows users... - SnirD, on 04/19/2008, -1/+16Great Great work! YaST2 looks so much better now and the KDE 4 artwork is lovely.
- jadrian, on 04/19/2008, -1/+13Yes you are right. It's Linux.
Linux comes in many flavours, called distributions. They take several pieces from the many prjects out there, put them together and build a nice usable Linux Operative System. OpenSUSE is an amazing one, and this is the first Beta (testing version) for OpenSUSE 11.0. Wait for the stable version to come out and then give it a try. It's really good. - displaced1, on 04/19/2008, -1/+12Only reason I come to digg is for the LOLcat pictures.
- icewolf316, on 04/19/2008, -1/+12How fast is the package manager compared to apt? I tried 10.3 and it was painfully slow and was the only thing that bothered me.
- opusaz, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10Yup, still one of the best looking distros. My computer-novice employees baulk at Ubuntu but are much more accepting of openSUSE.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -3/+12Oh *****, must download. Alpha 3 ROCKED.
- amrhassan, on 04/20/2008, -0/+9the new installer is so shiny, i want one.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+9lol, nice
Most people didn't get this, its obvious sarcasm. Nobody says Microsoft FTW and means it. - DeathGod321, on 04/19/2008, -2/+11Ubuntu's got its training wheels welded on, SUSE is much easier to use if you know what you're doing.
- apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9Done a long time ago, see the ZYpp:backport and YaST:backport repositories (you will need them both). Though, note that since update functionality hasn't been implented yet in the new package management stack, the openSUSE updater won't work anymore (though I guess this doesn't bother a lot of people).
After adding those repositories you will want to FIRST update libzypp, zypper, rpm, and THEN update all of YaST. After update functionality has been implemented we will likely create a 1-click-install for the new PM stack. - radius7, on 04/20/2008, -0/+8wow .. I just love the new beautiful installer.
- bagboyrebel, on 04/20/2008, -0/+8And here I thought that digg was set up to please mooseontheloose, and then something he doesn't care about ends up on the front page. Tsk tsk digg, tsk tsk.
- dualscreenman, on 04/19/2008, -0/+8*Comments as a Kubuntu user/Opensuse outsider*
Mrhm, I can't say I like the blue-tinted Oxygen window decoration, but that's all themeable anyway. The non-default Plasma theme that they are using looks quite good, and their specialized Plasma branch is pretty cool as well. I would love to see lzma-compressed packages appear in Kubuntu and/or all Debian based systems, such as introduced by suse.
This is some pretty cool stuff!-- long live innovation brought about by the existence of multiple distributions! - wiifm69, on 04/20/2008, -0/+7welcome to my block list, here you will meet other tools on digg
- SnowCrashv5, on 04/19/2008, -1/+8I'll probably wait until 11.1 or 11.2 when KDE4 is finally usable. It'd be sure nice of them to pump that improved zipper down via the repo's to the 10.x users.
- displaced1, on 04/19/2008, -1/+8Thank you.
- weizbox, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7You would think he would stop making these comments after being dugg down multiple times in multiple articles while basically doing the same thing. Maybe he didn't get the memo that the Ubuntu users don't want to look like distro elitist ***** anymore.
- apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7Yes, we've had Live CDs since before Ubuntu was around actually :-)
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+8How informative..
- apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7It is instant. See http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/296
- weizbox, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7lol.. wow. I guess you haven't used Linux before... because what you just said sounded retarded.
speak from experience next time... it could help in making a point ;) - TWIXMIX, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6Just hit enter without typing "Live-System" in. That's what I had to do. Perhaps you should try different things before complaining and giving up.
- apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -0/+6It's not as mature and stable as the previous KDE3 version yet, with some applications not fully functional just yet, so we're giving users the option of either (exciting and new, or old/stable/mature).
- apokryphos, on 04/19/2008, -0/+6The package manager in 11.0 ROCKS, and it's insanely fast (a lot faster than Smart). See the links from the article for a video of how fast it is.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -5/+11Typical Ubuntu Users:
"GO UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I'm Better Than You Because I Use Ubuntu"
"Who cares, its not ubuntu"
You know, this whole Windows->Ubuntu switch thing is starting to ruin the Linux community - Zaeboes, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5I'm all for competition, but not for inside conflict. If all the programmers and testers from the thousands of linux distros could pull together, we may have the perfect OS.
- SnowCrashv5, on 04/19/2008, -3/+8piss off with your ubuntu crap. Suse is years beyond it.
- Irco, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5dude..I AM a software engineer, and I contribute to open source software...why? because is FREE not as in price but as in free to modify. You need to learn what that free stands for and the fact that open source only gives you SUPERIOR standards, although yes, linux is FREE as in beer...Red hat makes a ton of money out of customer support. An OS should not be kept closed source just because is the money cow of a company..Linux is free but you still can charge for software you create for linux. Softwares Engineers are NOT worried that they'll lose their jobs because linux is free, Microsoft has a business model and if it stops working, another company will take over with a better business model (hopefully more than one) that's capitalism..the better survives!
- hotchkikr, on 04/19/2008, -2/+7Woot! Woot! I like!
The KDE4 is finally themed to be usable!
But some icons are missing from konquerer... - ksoul, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5You're likely using an Nvidia card and need to patch the driver for use with OpenSuse 11. Google their bugzilla for more info.
- MrTulip, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5troll -> don't feed it
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6No, we hate YOU, the typical FUD spreading sheep.
Go kill yourself. Get a life. Something. Just stop spreading useless FUD.
Why do you hate people so much? Do you believe that rich people should rule America? Hurry up, reply with "Why do you guys hate democracy so much?" - binarysemaphore, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6Looks beautiful. I am into xubuntu due to older hardware. I want to know how is openSuSE 11 for legacy hardware ?
- MrViklund, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5openSUSE is really a great system and with a big company like Novell in the back to secure the project it's great!
- rippin1700, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5I'm still running 10.3 but have KDE 4.02 meshed into it. Works and looks great. I've been waiting for 11 to hit Beta stage. Looks like it's time to download and check it out. Suse grabbed my attention back with version 7.1 and I've stuck with it ever since. I guess the downside is that I either need to ditch my x800XT card (yeah I know it's old, but it still works perfectly for me) or AMD needs to get on the ball with their 3D support.
- krische, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5That made my day.
- fakeollie, on 04/19/2008, -7/+12Yes, alphacoder. Many are worried, and a few forgive -- but not forget -- what a disservice Novell did to the whole FOSS movement. Re-hashing the "we also sponsor xxxx, yyy" and the many Novell save-face arguments changes nothing. Many people won't use a Novell distribution (community or otherwise) ever again, I'm one of them.
If one has no problem with it, I say fine. Just try not to make it seem like nothing's been done: own up. Action speaks louder than words. Mentioning the questionable Microsoft agreement is no FUD at all; paying for "patent protection" from absurd patent claims, thus validating them, *is* FUD. - ksoul, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5I've downloaded this from one of the official mirrors as there are not enough seeds to support a painless download. I can hardly wait to test out the new Zypper! I'll be happy once the finishing touches are put on this one with regards to wireless. Another distro already supports my wireless card out of the box with a similar kernel and this one is looking to be the same way.
I've only been using 10.3 for a few months after years of Using Ubuntu and Gentoo, but it's already made it's way in as my new primary OS.
The screenshots show an amazing amount of polish compared to the previous alpha. I can't wait to get it installed! - davidlitts, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5Wow, the fact that your posting on digg means pussy runs from you like a cat from water. Get over yourself dude, everyone else has.
- MrTulip, on 04/19/2008, -2/+7microsoft wouldn't allow that
- Remmy, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5What? Hardware manufacturers are responsible for driver specifications and releasing them to the community. Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with it.
