The application browser is not nearly as much of a mess as your grammar.

The 11.2 desktop looks nice but would look nicer with the lizard icon on the SLAB button.
No reason not to.

hey Jayce, I think the reason Ubuntu is so popular is because it’s easy to use. Installing from a .deb file is quite simple. I love openSUSE but every time I install it on my machine I have issues and I never can get the apps I want configured the way I want them. Suse wont work on my old laptop (I use puppy linux). I think the perfect distro would be KDE 3.5.7 but prettied up to make it look more updated. I love Konqueror as a browser but KDE going to 4.x has been horrid. Amarok 2.x is just a mess. I have to stick with 1.4 because it’s the best media player IMO. I can tell Ubuntu is eventually going towards a pricing model for their software instead of “free.” That’s what it looks like anyway to me. Maybe one day suse will be very easy for a noob. It’d be cool for example to have amazonmp3 store software installed prepackaged in a repo. It’s very hard to get it installed on a suse machine or at least it was in the past.

You don’t have to use NFS to share file between linux/linux, just use samba and you can share your file the same way you share your file between linux/windows.

I’ve been using 11.2 RC2 for a few weeks now and, while not perfect, it is more efficient and stable than previous versions.

While on the topic of nitpicking improvements, I have to agree that the default application menu (is that called Application
Browser?) is absolutely horrible. I just do not use it. Instead I use the “Traditional Menu” but that too is far from ideal.
There are way to many things there and categories are inconsistent or simply odd. I’ve cleaned it up but using the menu
editor to do so is even more frustrating than using the traditional menu. If there is time to take care of small stuff,
please do clean this up.

The more serious problems I found now have open bugs (DVD Blanking produces unrecognizable disk and VFAT driver options
ignored) but there are minor glitches still like Yast Apache setup producing eronious config files and probably more
that I have not found yet :) …Can’t wait to update to the release and see what problems go away!

File sharing between Windows and Linux on openSuse is very easy but somehow I have a problem sharing files between two openSuse machines (Linux/Linux). Can someone please explain me the easiest way of doing so. I know that I have to install NFS but where does it fo from there?
