openSUSE 10.2 Released with KDE 3.5.5

Posted by Francis Giannaros (apokryphos) on Friday 08/Dec/2006, @14:54
from the oo-a-new-menu dept.
openSUSE 10.2, formerly known as SUSE Linux 10.x, has been released with KDE 3.5.5 and KOffice 1.6 (Krita is installed by default). As well as the usual latest free and open source software, openSUSE comes with the new KDE Menu "Kickoff", integrated with the latest Kerry Beagle. Some screenshots are available on the openSUSE wiki.

Please no more distribution release articles
by Richard on Saturday 09/Dec/2006, @04:53

What a nonsense to put this on the dot! Please, stop posting articles
that are about some distribution release. There are enough other sites
that report about this.

Just installed it today :)
by Samuel Weber on Saturday 09/Dec/2006, @14:28

And it works beautifully. Opensuse really puts alot of effort into these releases, and I can feel it.

nice
by AJ on Saturday 09/Dec/2006, @14:29

It's somewhat more responsive and faster than 10.1 (if you don't count the *@!_[#^ package system) and runs stable till now (since beta2). The only thing which bugs me is basket (yes I know, it's not shipped with suse). It crashes randomly and very often, but without being reproduceable. I can't get even a single useful backtrace, it's driving me nuts.

another unstable distro, part 2
by anonymous on Sunday 10/Dec/2006, @02:21

thanks for your tips, but come on guys, please be more tolerant.

If I say it's buggy it IS buggy for me. What should I do if I want to install something and this buggy Yast-Tool doesn't want to install it???

> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7624/verybuggyyastlr1.png

it does CONTAIN the right media!!!

I can access this rpm with every http program, but Yast think it doesn't exist. Fu** up. This makes me very angry. One reason is Yast and the other reason is that you think I spread lies.
One more reasons are people who doesn't find any bugs in Suse 10.2 and heavily use 10.2. I can't imagine this. I think they only use heavily Firefox, Konqui and one Mailer. Ok, if I only use these programs, then I don't find bugs too for hours/days/months/years... ;)

All in all, Suse 10.2 shouldn't release a distro because they can sell the boxed version BEFORE x-mas.

Thx & Greets,

anonymous "troll" (if you think I'm a troll, I'm a troll. but I don't lie)

Distribution news on the dot
by MikeT on Sunday 10/Dec/2006, @02:39

This whole discussion about posting distribution news on the dot isn't going anywhere. And being an important one, I hope that the KDE editors read this post.

It is I think really necessary to implement criteria for a distribution post to be accepted. This "if someone writes an article it will be accepted" won't work. We could soon have voluntaries writing release articles about everyone's pet favourite distribution spamming the dot.

So a distribution release news article should be posted if and only if it has some news related to KDE, not just because it includes KDE 3.5.x.

Taking that into account, Kubuntu's and openSUSE's news did make sense, while Fedora's was completely unwarranted. openSUSE and Kubuntu are, in that order, the distributions that are doing more KDE related work than any other. Actually employing KDE developers is among the best things you can do to support KDE. That said, not every openSUSE or Kubuntu release is interesting KDE-wise. SUSE's 9.x releases would maybe have been less news-noteworthy, KDE wise, independently of being good releases and a good distribution or not. But the last releases where related in a big way. Kubuntu has deployed a new KDE-based debian packet manager (Adept), it ships KControl's alternative System settings, including the new KControl modules from guidance, it has developed and shipped qt4 utilities like Kubuntu Device Database, the installer, etc. openSUSE, apart from the long history of supporting KDE, and its configuration utilities based on qt (YAST), has lately developed important KDE technologies or KDE frontends to new technologies like KNetworkmanager or Kerry, and this last release has an extremely important and relevant to KDE new item: Kickoff a replacement for KMenu which could influence KDE4's design, something that doesn't happen often. Those are interesting, KDE related news, worthy of being posted on the dot. Fedora's and any "distribution X released with KDE 3.5.x" are just metoos, kindergarten posts that spamm the dot.

I think the problem with Kubuntu's and openSUSE's announcements where not properly stressing AND explaining the KDE related points.

Just my 2c.
