- cenuiij, on 12/18/2008, -1/+13openSUSE, one of the winners of Arstechnica Ovatio awards for distro of the year. http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/ars-awards ...
For the impatient, downloads available from http://software.opensuse.org - MrViklund, on 12/18/2008, -1/+9OpenSUSE is fantastic! I have been testing all the beta versions this release is real rock solid. One of the best, if not the best Linux distro out there. Especially with KDE as the desktop! :) Downloading the torrent right now.
OpenSUSE 11.1 DVD i586 32 Bit PC Torrent Link:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso ... - Irco, on 12/19/2008, -0/+4I actually find it to be the other way around, opensuse seems to be far ahead to me. Once you get used to yast and how the os revolves around it, I think is the most polished distro out there, that of course, is just my opinion. Why do you think ubuntu is better?
- Shadowman, on 12/18/2008, -1/+5Fedora's KDE has greatly improved, but it's still primarily a Gnome distro. And Kubuntu is not as good as Ubuntu. But with openSUSE you can't go wrong with either KDE or Gnome. Their Gnome is very polished and their KDE4 is the best.
- cenuiij, on 12/18/2008, -1/+5Of course you can upgrade from 11.0 -> 11.1 there are a couple of ways. Both of which are trivially easy.
You can simply run the installer from your bootable installation disc, and when prompted select the "Upgrade" option.
Alternatively you can update online with zypper.
1. Add 11.1 repositories
2. Remove 11.0 repositories
3. run the command: zypper ref
4. run the command: zypper dup - kojot350, on 12/18/2008, -0/+3You don't have to add and delete, just simply edit all your repos and change all 11.0 to 11.1
If you are lazy, write a simple bash script to change all 11.0 to 11.1 in dir: /etc/zypp/repos.d/
If you are lame, run bootable installation disk...
If you are worried about safety of upgradeing a running system, the best way is to download smallest cd (or even old one) and chose installation over network. ( although, didn't tested myself )
Linux is all about choice! ;) - PerfectReign, on 12/18/2008, -1/+4This release continues on the rock-solid stability of openSUSE after several years. I'll be upgrading several of my machines to it as soon as I finish the download.
I just got a new laptop with Vista and it will be upgraded to 11.0 with KDE 4 within a few days... - hans51, on 01/03/2009, -0/+3Using SuSE / openSUSE successfully since 1998
I just installed openSUSE 11.1 on one of my laptops - Acer Ferrari 4000- ( the others run still on 11.0 ).
Install was simple, easy and fully automated. No manual modifications to make..
Also LAN network worked out of the box.
Definitely a release to recommend for professional users. - ch40sBr1ng3r, on 12/21/2008, -1/+4OpenSUSE 11.1.....quite possibly the greatest Linux out there atm. DLing as im posting this. Using 11.0 right now, and im loving it. Kudos, and please keep up the great work.
- inactive, on 12/20/2008, -0/+2As someone who uses and has used Linux for a long time, Ubuntu comes off as annoying half the time when it tries to be polished.
- brindamo, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2I've been using 10.1 then 10.3 as my main operating systems and expect to move to 11.1 Suse always seems solid. Will comment further once I've been using it for a month or two
- weeble, on 12/18/2008, -1/+3@ nxxm: Maybe you need to check again. Things are working fine. There is no fail here but you nxxm.
- c0l2e, on 12/19/2008, -1/+3Well every corner of this distro is well furnished. I've been using opensuse/suse since 10.1 and never failed me. But, also there's some problem still lurking since 10.3... The KDE Network Manager applet. I cannot properly connect to UTMS/3G device, Does'nt have Connection Information compare to the Gnome Network Manager applet. I've tried to use the gnome applet in KDE environment and it freezes my system.
By the way, this release officially includes usb_modeswitch, which is cool for mobile internet user like me. - apokryphos, on 12/19/2008, -0/+2Should have used metalinks:
http://opensuse.org/Metalinks - Irco, on 12/19/2008, -1/+3I've been using 11 since it came out and haven't had any problems...in fact i'm kinda hesitant to upgrade cause I really have no reason to, but I'm also addicted to the smell of newly released software.
Everyone should give it a try regardless of your distro of choice, opensuse continuous to be a strong competitor. - Beineri, on 12/18/2008, -2/+3There is a difference between a release announcement and some deep link into the download redirector.
- alexvalentine, on 12/18/2008, -2/+3Personally, I don't think Ars made a convincing argument for why Foresight and Opensuse are any better than Ubuntu. I use Opensuse and Ubuntu. I find Ubuntu to be far more polished. That being said, Opensuse has come a long way, and its great see so many viable Linux alternatives.
- nxxm, on 12/18/2008, -2/+3dont be ridiculous moron. thats a wiki. you can simply upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 by booting from the 11.1 dvd media and selecting upgrade and doing it.
the wiki article you link is simply outdated and not yet updated.
do the upgrade and update the article you retard.
sheesh. - okubax, on 05/29/2009, -0/+1i agree
- zonker, on 12/20/2008, -0/+1The OP may be wrong, but there's no need for name-calling. Correct people politely, please.
- wfoxCO, on 12/19/2008, -0/+0http://en.opensuse.org/Featurelist_11.1
***** noob. - MethodOne, on 12/19/2008, -2/+2In before schestowitz or his followers spread FUD about openSUSE in the comments.
- zonker, on 12/20/2008, -0/+0It's nice to take the time to let people know if they're misguided about openSUSE features, but keep it polite, OK?
- cenuiij, on 12/18/2008, -2/+2baaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww
- scouser73, on 12/19/2008, -1/+1I've been using various Linux distros since May, I stuck with Ubuntu, until the new release came out, and I'm really happy with it. It's well worth a look, so go on, download and enjoy OpenSuse 11.1
- mohawkdigital, on 12/19/2008, -0/+0you moron... this aint no rc kernel
- alexvalentine, on 12/18/2008, -3/+2I was aware of the iso image install (its almost 2009, I shouldn't need to deal with iso's for systen updates.) and I attempted to use YAST to do the upgrade, similar to your zypper procedure and failed. I'm trying zypper now, and I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply.
- mohawkdigital, on 12/19/2008, -1/+0the torrents are slow and my neighbors wifi ain't running too fast but i'll have it installed by tomorrow
- mohawkdigital, on 12/19/2008, -1/+0you ***** idiot... this is easy as a horse ***** in the road to upgrade. slap in the dvd it will detect your 11.0 system and ask you pleasantly if you want to upgrade. what the ***** man.. quit smokin the windows crack
- mohawkdigital, on 12/19/2008, -1/+0ubuntu sucks you brown dicker
- wontstoptalking, on 12/19/2008, -2/+1I'm still afraid of KDE......I know it's stupid, but I can't overcome this fear! Gnome has been so kind and useful...
- GrumpyWarrior, on 12/27/2008, -2/+0Well, As a longtime OpenSuse 9.1, 10.2, 11.0 I user I have to say that 11.1 while first looking really better and greater is still flaky. After 2 days of testing to try and bring my Acer Aspire back to same level of capability and stability that I had with 11.0 (Installed Java Beans 6.5, Java EE, Multiple wine apps including MYOB 18, and Virtualbox OSE) I could not stop reoccurance of corruptions after running for about an hour - HAL being one of them. Also ability to update and read media:/sdb1 a USB 40Gbyte drive which I have been using for last 6 months failed. Re-installed, Re Recover 2- 3 times but problems kept coming back. Once re-installed OpenSuse 11.0 all returned to normal. So everyone WATCHOUT cos it bites! Looking to when this is sorted and then will be back unless I stay with Dreamlinux www.dreamlinux.com.br
- nxxm, on 12/18/2008, -4/+1its not a deep link as you have your download director which uses the mirrors and anyways it links to the torrent files.
nobode spoke about release announcement or anything. we are talking about the real bits. - inactive, on 12/19/2008, -5/+2any chance of having the MS logo, to know that I am protected from their patents.
- wfoxCO, on 12/18/2008, -5/+0Is a RC kernel, not stable.
- alexvalentine, on 12/18/2008, -7/+2One glaring oversight from the Opensuse team is the lack of a easy upgrade path from 11.0 to 11.1. As it stands right now, there doesn't appear to be a simple method for upgrading 11.0 system to 11.1. The only documented method is from 10.3 ( http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_openSUSE ), and it results in rpm dependency issues when attempting to go from 11.0 to 11.1.
- nxxm, on 12/18/2008, -12/+1its already there....
http://digg.com/software/opensuse_11_1_released_pu ... - nxxm, on 12/18/2008, -15/+2the whole opensuse wiki site is utterly FAIL.... it gives timouts already and its not even rushhour on them internets anyhow. so suse is completely unreliable... and you guys claim to link to the new release? ahahahah get real.
maybe you people need some real company to fix your websites relating to opensuse and to introduce some real scalability and high availability...
this is ridiculous....
