OpenSUSE 11.3: The Linux distribution for KDE lovers - Computerworld (blog)

| | TrackBacks (0)
I've been using SUSE Linux since its start in 1994 and then, as now, I like this strong desktop Linux distribution. Of course, openSUSE 11.3 , the latest version, doesn't look a lot like that vintage Slackware variant, but one thing has remained the same. Today's OpenSUSE is a Linux for users, not developers or Linux technicians.

In particular, openSUSE 11.3 is the distribution for people who like the KDE 4.x desktop. While openSUSE offers baked-in support for more other desktop interfaces than most Linux distributions, such as GNOME 2.30.1 with a preview of GNOME 3.0 and the lightweight XFCE 4.6.2, it's really the showcase for the latest in the KDE 4.4.4 . While I'm still fond of the older KDE 3.5.x desktop interface , many users are fond of KDE 4.4 and, if you're one of those people, openSUSE 11.3 is the Linux distribution for you.

I found this out by testing out the gold master of openSUSE 11.3 on two different PCs. The first was my faithful old Lenovo ThinkPad R61. This is powered by a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500 and has 2GBs of RAM. The other was a Dell Inspiron 530S powered by a 2.2-GHz Intel Pentium E2200 dual-core processor with an 800-MHz front-side bus. This test machine had 4GBs of RAM, a 500GB SATA (Serial ATA) drive, and an Integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) chip set.
