From: paul0073 on 23 Dec 2009 12:22 Does the opensuse iso file ever get updated; i.e. a newer 11.2 (or other ver) ever get updated with/to a newer kernel, etc? I'm starting over with a new harddisk that will get the 11.2 install after the holidays.

No. This would be very unusual (it's certainly possible if a major oops happened, but unlikely normally). The "update" is when 11.3 comes out.

The only time I have known there to be a remastered version of any openSUSE, SUSE, SuSE or S.u.S.E release was when SUSE 10.1 was released with a seriously broken package management system. So, basically, it is extremely unlikely that there will be a remastered version of 11.2 released since what was released works fine[0]. [0] Well, it does here, with KDE4.3.4 from the build service repos. It even worked fine with the supplied KDE4.3.1, despite there being lots of complaints about KDE4 in general[1]. [1] That should stir up at least a little bit of a "KDE4 is broken" thread :-) Regards, David Bolt -- Team Acorn: www.distributed.net OGR-NG @ ~100Mnodes RC5-72 @ ~1Mkeys/s openSUSE 11.0 32b | | openSUSE 11.2 32b | openSUSE 11.0 64b | openSUSE 11.1 64b | openSUSE 11.2 64b | TOS 4.02 | openSUSE 11.1 PPC | RISC OS 4.02 | RISC OS 3.11
From: Chris Cox on 23 Dec 2009 15:53 Oh... and let me add that KDE4 is broken... (this useless one liner brought to you by Microsofties: We're all PC's, we just don't know what to do with them.)

I've had the same experience in both a laptop and my hot-rod desktop. Can't get a bug for trying in this package. One of the best in a long time and KDE is finally usable. Don't miss the Ubuntu/Gnome combo I've used for the last year and a half. An interesting read: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142148/Review_3_top_Linux_distros_go_for_different_users |
