openSUSE 11.0 GNOME and new to Linux:
1. how do I add the classic top panel/taskbar?
2. how do I activate additional workspaces _W/O_ using Compiz?
3. how do I get rid of that awful new “Computer” menu and revert to the previous classic one?
4. how do I find out, which parts of the file system tree are located on which physical partitions? Or in other words: which mount point is used for each existing partition mounted to the FS tree? The Expert Partitioner does not reveal that information.
5. For how much longer will the restriction to just mere IDE 15 partitions exist, if one isn’t going through the nuisance of adding hwprobe=-modules.pata to the kernel. How and where does one make that stick and be permanent?

But Team of Suse or OpenSuse Keep going strong whit the good work

Hi you all there at openSUSE!

Just before the release of openSUSE 11.0 I want to thank you for making this possible to us – wow, thankyou so much! I use Suse or openSUSE since years and it got better and better – great work! Really, I enjoy it. YOU DO A GOOD WORK folks! Keep doing it! Be encouraged!

I bless you with wisdom, revelation, knowledge and much, much fun to make it even greater than this, much greater! Take it in Jesus Name! – I believe God can bless you much more than any man could do. ;) – I believe if a man is blessed by God than he is really blessed!

Bye and thanks!
Andreas

I’m a suse user for years.
11.0 ought to be the best suse/linux release ever (hopefully).
I have tried *buntu for its last three releases but all went back to suse.
As a desktop linux, it’s definitely the most usable linux in the market. (Praise the laptop support and DE’s polishness!)

I have been using kde for at least a year and now found myself using gnome. Guess what I need is a stable desktop with maturity :p
(I took Digikam with me which is the closest thing to Lightroom under linux.)
As for kde 4.1, the desktop looks really promising(albeit quite different from 3.5). Time is needed for the developers to iron out all the bugs.

Thanks for all the good work!

KDE 3, KDE 4, and GNOME will all be fully supported in openSUSE 11 (as shown on the installation screenshots.) This is one of the unique aspects of openSUSE – both major desktops are supported.

Hello all,

How does SUSE 11.0 package gnome? With Ubuntu I can install a very minimal gnome system that runs on a computer with as little as 96 MB RAM. But when I tried SUSE 10.3, just trying to install gedit made it pull in gstreamer, gnome-audio, and many more advanced memory-eating gnome components that I don’t remember now. Anyone know if Gnome is more modularized and with less dependancies in SUSE 11.0?

And on another note, can we please have a Gnome traditional installer CD, in addition to the live CD?

Thanks!

Is it true that KDE is now going to be the desktop of choice on openSUSE?

Meh. It’s all about KDE in my opinion. GNOME is nice looking, though.

Loved Gnome in OpenSUSE 11!
