openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4 Initial Impressions
Even if I wasn't such an openSUSE devotee, I think I might find a lot of good things to say about this Linux product.
Clearly, the development team continue to anneal and case harden an otherwise good product in openSUSE 11.0 such that this beta 4 is almost stable enough for production use.
I have very little to complain about in terms of the install experience. A new partitioning redesign allows the user to see everything now on one screen, whereas the 11.0 put various parts in hidden screens. Overall, I think the effect is good in that it does achieve making partitioning choices relatively easier to make.
I was able to configure most everything fairly quickly as my previous partitions kept the root mount point separate from the partition for /home.
Gnome 2.24, my choice for this install, brings subtle yet important changes.
