openSUSE 11.2 countdown (:

[Hyperz]

Arguably the most beautiful Linux distro out there will release version 11.2 in just a few hours so it's time for me to do little bit of supporting it by letting y'all know B-). If you like Windows, but would love to try Linux this is the perfect time. This goes for Ubuntu users to.

looks great!
had to think twice when looking at the snapshot. lol

will definitely give this a go some time..

 

[Hyperz]

Trust me, it's even more impressive when you see it running. Especially with Desktop Effects or Compiz Fusion behind it <3.

man i had prepared to buy a laptop for this, but its too close to christmas. I would even dual-boot except i dont have a spare HD

 

[Hyperz]

You could shrink your windows partition to free up 10 gig for a new logical drive . You can do this via the live cd and it's how I did it for 11.1.

Thanks Hyperz if you say so going to give a try this week , hope it is as best as i can see you are big fan of it

 

[Hyperz]

It's the first Linux distro I tried coming from Windows so I tend to support it . You know, like your 1st PC where you go "ooo what's this... and, what's that? Cool!" lol.

not on main site but here you go http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/iso/

 

[Hyperz]

You little spoiler you :p.
But yes, the ISO was leaked on the forum a few hours ago.

 

[Phozon]

sorry i like leaking things :blush: :P

 

[Hyperz]

Hmm says it is released but the download page is still 11.1 (

 

[Hyperz]

It's up now for download: http://software.opensuse.org/112/en

If you want the fancy desktop the "Live KDE" ISO is what you want .

 

[shadow.prx]

Will give this a try getting bored of ubuntu and fedora didn't meet my needs :P

 

[litewarez]

Yea im getting board of ubuntu aswell

 

[Hyperz]

There's lots of stuff to explore on

.
Ububntu tends to hide all interesting stuff you can fiddle about with for user friendliness. Plus I think there is more Qt4 than GTK apps out for Linux.

Downloading 64bit DVD and NonOSS CD, me so horny.

 

[Hyperz]

What's on that NonOSS CD? Till this day I still don't know what OSS stands for. OS-Software?
Edit: Ohh >_>

 

[Curtis129]

looks good!
I think i might have to try linux, cause this looks sexy!

 

[pi0tr3k]

Hyperz, is it really faster as they said?

 

[Hyperz]

Faster compared to? 11.1? Windows? =/
