Will this version include the latest version of apache (2.2.17) and PHP? Or not?

Can someone please explain what the 32 Bit NVIDIA bug is? I’m keen to go back to opensuse, but this might be a showstopper for me. I recall that plasma in kde4.6 would crash if you had the digital clock working and the latest NVIDIA drivers. Is that the bug, or is this a different one?

What about installing or running from a usb stick? This was broken in 11.3 and I want to know how this can be done simply. Ubuntu provides an easy built-in function for this. Even unetbootin doesn’t seem to work with suse. I don’t want to sound like a troll but this is a really important and basic function that needs to be fixed or suse will stay an “expert” distribution.

Been attracted to KDE and Opensuse since 11.2 but could never get past all the bugs and sluggishness of the Nvidia driver and have had to revert back to Ubuntu Gnome time and again. However I have been using Opensuse 11.4 since Milestone 6 and it has been fantastic and quite usable. No plans to go back to Ubuntu any time soon. This latest version is really buttoned up.

Hi All, What is the correct image for 64-bit version? I am downloading this – openSUSE-DVD-Build0012-x86_64.iso. Is this correct?

Also, can I upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 or I will have to perform a clean installation once I install 11.3.

Thanks!

forget RDP and use NXClient. Get it free from nomachine.com

I’ve been with (open)SUSE since 6.4, but with the advent of the 10 series I got so frustrated that I abandoned it with 11.3 (many things didn’t work, regressions after updates / upgrades, unusably slow graphics on old laptop with ATI graphics, network manager never worked for me, etc. etc.).

Now, for 11.4 I’ve tried several milestones and now RC2. All I can say: I’m impressed. I’ll be back on O.S. right away. My old-ish laptop featuring Intel T7200 and Nvidia 7400 feels like a completely new machine (it feels soo fast), and I haven’t run into any major problems with everyday computing tasks.

Installed it also on second box with Intel E6300/Nvidia9400 and an SSD – very nice so far but haven’t really gone much beyond installation on that box.

I might run it across my (even older) laptop (Pentium M1500, ATI9200) that I had to stop using with any distribution that was launched in the last two years due to the ATI graphics issue mentioned above.

Hi,

Will OpenSuse 11.4 have support for a RDP server that works well?

So I can us Microsoft Terminal Server client and connect to my OpenSUSE 11.4 Machine?

Thanks,

Ward
