Goodbye Edubuntu, hello SUSE
Much to my children’s chagrin, my basement Edubuntu setup is going away, only to be replaced by an alpha version of OpenSUSE 10.3. Oh yeah, they were thrilled.
This is absolutely not because of any dissatisfaction with Edubuntu. It’s been really outstanding and the kids have adapted to it without any problems. In fact, all but one (I have four, so 75% is pretty good) now favor it over the lone Windows box remaining in my basement. The only complaints have related to performance; unfortunately, a P4 really isn’t made to power thin clients. Gigabit Ethernet would have done wonders as well since their loudest griping usually coincided with networked games and bandwidth-intensive websites.
Why then would I be dumping it in favor of an early version of openSUSE’s latest and greatest?
