Five Minutes With Opensuse 11.0
On Septembers edition of Linux Format Magazine the new Opensuse 11 features on the cover disk. Among the new features are KDE 4 - The latest in Linux Desktop Management, and a new faster package management system.
I tried the live mode off the CD which worked quite nicely. Part of the new KDE 4 is the ability to add “Plasmoids” which are basically desktop plugins similar to Google Desktop. Adding more than two of these to my desktop caused multiple errors closing all programs, but this could possibly have been solved by installing directly on to my hard drive.
The installation is supposedly “one click” but I could not get the gist of it (still a newbe). This really stopped me from going any further with Opensuse, but the general feel was that KDE4 needs a bit of work but im sure installing on to a drive would solve most of the problems. Using Opensuse 11? Let me know.
