Hi all.

(sorry for my English first - i`m from Russia.)

I`m start to use linux from 2000 year. My first distributive was RedHat 6.2. Next - Fedora Core. Now - openSUSE 11.1

  1. I`m impressed by stability of openSUSE.

  2. Yast2 - good idea :slight_smile: All administrative tools is collected in one place. Also i can use yast - for console and remote work.

  3. Im long time use other linux distros, and when i have crashed something, all rescue options is boot with rescue DVD and chroot /mnt/blabla - for handworking. (i can this, sure), but two days ago, im do some experiment and destroy some part of my system. When i`m insert installation DVD - all system was restored, and all work exellent! Great work guys! openSUSE have the very clever, best installer, i think.

  4. Great package collection from openSUSE standard and from community repositories. Sad, but FedoraCore (im dont understand what happens, but most releases is really not usable, long time ) make some insane “release” race, as i can see… Some time ago im test FC9 distro and this not look good.. Now on site im see version 10…11… Stability - is not the hi-priority in FC philosophy… I`m understand, what i just must use another linux distributive, after many years of using RedHat and FedoraCore…

  5. May im wrong, but openSUSE wine build - is fastest than i can see in other distros! It really fast! Im dont need many windows programs, but im test very many and i can say - openSUSE wine build is best…This is really usable.

And now im really happy with openSUSE 11.1. Some problems with software and drivers - is not a pain. Now im have openSUSE 11.1 on my home computer and on my work computer. All so-workers are impressed :slight_smile:

Im use WindowMaker for long time, but stability of Gnome and XFCE from openSUSE - is awesome. Now im use XFCE4 - and i like it. (WindowMaker - is smallest and fastest WM -i`m big fan of WindowMaker. in openSUSE i have many WM applets - very nice:) )

Thanks you guys for your work:) This is a right way! I`m feel myself is very comfortable in openSUSE 11.1, as never before. (long time ago, FedoraCore 2 was very nice distributive - but now- is not…)

Thanks you!

Congratulations to you!

I’m not so lucky. Two weeks ago I shut down my well running opensuse 10.3. Next day the surprise: I’m bombed with alerts: An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for [e.g.] Texteditor. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. Details: Der Client konnte auf Grund eines CORBA-Fehlers nicht zur Serverliste hinzugefügt werden: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 I’ll try to translate: The Client can’t be added to the server list because of a CORBA-Fault.
The task bar has gone, only my desktop icons are still there, so I can start a few programms.

Message: An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Texteditor. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

I tried to solve this problem with an upgrade to 11.1 and now I’m having a more serious problem: failed to read native max adress (err_mask=0x4) during boot - openSUSE Forums
