openSUSE 11.0 GM released

Posted Jun 19, 2008 20:00 UTC (Thu) by aschwinm (subscriber, #33817) [Link]

Just installed it inside VirtualBox on Mac OS X on my MacBook. The installer is a nice
improvement, 
you can discuss about some options that are presented by default. It's easy now to install
additional 
community repositories like packman for e.g. MPlayer. Will try how well power management works

on a MacBook next week. I still don't like the menu in KDE 4 so I switched to classical menu
style 
already. From what I've seen now: a job well done. The kids can't wait until I upgrade the
10.0 
version of their laptop.
