good luck with your new system.
I’m also a new convert to opensuse. moved from manjaro / arch to opensuse when 13.2 launched. very, very pleased with the maturity of this distro. I’ll also be sure to follow this thread as time goes on.
Best of luck.
Good day all!
(On http://software.opensuse.org/132/en)
I choose BitTorrent download method and click “Download DVD” button in order to download openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso.torrent file.
Double click the torrent file after finish download it that triggered Torrent program *) to run and download openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso iso file.
*) If you don’t have Torrent program, you have to download and install it first.
You can also choose Direct Link download method, with this method you don’t have to install Torrent program in your PC.
- (6/11/2014) burn openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso file to DVD.
- (6/11/2014) check the status of my PC (power, screen etc.) that I want to install openSUSE Ver. 13.2. - everything set.
In my next post on this Thread, I will write down my experience to install openSUSE Ver. 13.2 in my PC.
Cheers!

The torrent makes us all to distributors. I’m blessed with a good highspeed connection and always downloads both DVD’s via direct link and when my desktop is up and running the new distro I start sharing them. Remember there’s a lot of folks out there with slow and unstable connections, for them the torrent is a blessing, give them some help!
It might be too late for this, but trying out the Live ISO’s for KDE or Gnome I find to be the best method for installation. For one the download is only around 1gb instead of the 4gb since the full download has 3 DE’s on it. But the main benefit from doing this is that you can take the OS for a test run on your system to see if everything checks out. If it does, you can either install directly within the Live ISO or reboot and choose *Installation *from the menu
Good day all!

Good day all!
While I am doing the setting on my brand new openSUSE Ver. 13.2 installation, I decided to also following the guidance from the online documentation.
To make it easier, I try make my own compilation of the documentation and share the link here to make it easier to follow my post on this thread.
- (16/11/2014) Download openSUSE 13.2 documentation as .pdf file.
- (24/11/2014) Make Chapter 1. Quick Installation Guide .pdf file and share it.
- (24/11/2014) Make Chapter 2. KDE Quick Start .pdf file and share it.
Note:
- I only organize the documentation a little and separate it chapter by chapter into .pdf file. One chapter in one .pdf file.
- Step number 6, is about the installation and I did it already.
- Whenever I do the installation, I choose Gnome as my desktop therefore for step number 7, I only download and make the .pdf file of Chapter 2.
The latest status is openSUSE installed on my PC, documentation Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 is created in .pdf files and shared.
In my next post on this Thread, I will create documentation Chapter 3. GNOME Quick Start pdf file, share it and write down my experience setting GNOME.
Cheers!
