    Gnome again?

    Weren't the previous two reviews of Fedora and Ubuntu both using Gnome?

    OpenSUSE is another great example of a Linux distro and is worth a look, but if you ask me Gnome is hardly the best advertisement to non Linux users. It just doesn’t adequately show off the graphical user experience in both look and functionality that Linux is capable of now.

    Let's see some KDE.

    F.Y.I. - Those screenshots are KDE 4.

    Error!!! anonymous -- 18/11/08 (in reply to #320116475)

    Oops - I stand corrected. It is Gnome...

    Why did Open Office fail? G -- 17/11/08

    Following the screen shots was informative to a point... but when one puts up the screen "Open Office - fatal error", it begs the question 'Why?'. Perhaps a one-line description ought be suggested with future sequences of screen shots... to give basic explanation of what is captured.

    And actually, I followed it all to chase up the opening comment that the new OpenSUSE performed better at virtualisation than other distros, but the 'article' never went there. I look forward to the follow-up article.

    Because the screenshot was at least two weeks old. This was a known problem and ffixed inn the updates. It does not exist i beta5, which was released a week ago (12th Nov.). These are betas and not releases or even release candidates and are issued for testing with a list of known problems as published in the openSuSE weekly news <http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/>.

    Open Suse Anonymous -- 17/11/08

    I love opensuse. I even installed the so called 11 in my computer. But the moment that asked me to go purchase so codeds for music , movie and all. I had to think, I payed to microsoft for the same and now for this people once more. I thought about it. And I removed. May be I should have added some source which would have given me those codecs, but the best would have been, if the it was there.

    Well the open office is a shame for Linux. Nobody including, debian is doing something about it. Koffice is growing at the speed of snail I feel. I hope some alternative office pops up.
