24 hours with openSUSE 11.0
24 hours. Not 'a day'; not figuratively; I've spent 24 hours with the recently released update to my long-running favorite OS: openSUSE 11.0, and I've got some things to say...
OpenSUSE Linux 11.0 is revolutionary, but my enthusiasm is tempered by substantial regressions.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
This release brings some amazing new features, evidencing a great deal of creative problem-solving and innovative thought on the part of both the SuSE team in Germany, and the Novell folks on this side of the planet.
Installation is a breeze. The DVD installer performed a very effective upgrade of my 10.3 install, but the real show is on the Live CDs. I tried out the Gnome CD, and found myself in front of a Desktop in record time (I wish I'd actually timed it). Using an innovative imaging transfer instead of the typical package installation, I went from boot to live disc desktop, to an installed OS in under 20 minutes!
