●● Hard Times with SUSE

Posted in GNU/Linux, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu at 6:08 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

WE TYPICALLY share just positive Novell news on Saturdays, but an exceptional number of negative writings about SUSE have appeared, so they might as well be presented separately, for completeness (we never skip or ignore Novell-related news).

An Update on OpenSUSE 11.1[...]Overall, I am fairly displeased with the number of problems in this version. Many problems are probably because of incompatibilities in the config files from different versions.

Goodbye openSUSE. Hello Linux Mint.[...]So, now I have a brand new Linux Mint installed. Apart from the above, it’s been working pretty well… no major problems… unlike openSUSE… and that’s a relief.

So that’s where it stands. █
