For a while I was planning on testing out openSUSE 12.1 KDE for use on the family desktop computer (actually, still am), but the Gnome 3 Online Accounts is very, very tempting! I just wish my current laptop could handle all of Gnome3 and not have to go into fallback mode.
So what feature, or reason, do you look forward to for upgrading/installing openSUSE 12.1?
I hope very sincerely that features that were lost in KAdressbook on 11.4 (and that were available in KD on 11.2 and before) are restored to usage.
That is, I am not looking forward to something new, but to something old that was lost.
Some green scenery 
Is it going to be shipped with sax2 replacement???
My biggest limitation is the Intel video on my laptop which means I’ll likely not get Gnome3 to work until I get a newer or better machine.
I like the idea of the Online Accounts and integrated access to Google Docs, Calendar, Contacts and Gmail.
When I started with Linux, I gave myself the goal “Can I do everything I do in Windows, but on Linux?” and that is a success. Now I am looking at the best desktop/cloud integration and this is a significant step towards that end… if it works.
I’m also interested in WebYast. I am thinking if I set up a headless server at home, maybe WebYast could allow me to configure it without having the SSH into it and running Yast2 in ncurses. I already do this with my modem and my router, why not my Linux server as well? So far the best optional I have found is Zentyal, but I am hoping to see what openSUSE can do!
Yes, yes, please. But I giess not everybody understands this whish.rotfl!
Did you create one?
Oh, I didn’t know ownCloud was going to be shipped too! I better make sure the USB large enough for the full DVD is cleared and ready!
:sarcastic:
Quick answer No, However check this thread especially the last post.
sax3 testers needed !!
Maybe someday just not right now.
I don’t know if sax3 in the default install, but it is available in the OSS repo. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/sax3-0.1-3.1.3.x86_64.rpm
Thanks Sagemta and 67GTA.
I’ll take a look at that.

I was looking forward for Btrfs, but since it does not come with a
repair tool it is on my wishlist for the future.
I think perhaps KDE 4.7 then. Otherwise just a newer Suse overall.
Isn’t that already great.

Maybe not him, but sax3 is certainly under development.
One of the google summer of code projects, IIRC.

No Signature this time…
Much like XP -> Vista/W7. Or KDE3 -> KDE4, TBH.
I’m probably going to first check out KDE and see how that does. It should work alright without the desktop effects and can become the “fallback” depending on how bad Gnome fallback is.
This time, though, I am looking at getting the DVD at some point because I have to check out KDE for the desktop, Gnome possibly for my laptop an a possible server so it would be easier to put the DVD image on one USB to install them all.
If I get it downloaded in time today I may give it a quick check on my work laptop, which is more modern than my home laptop and likes Linux distros better!

A stable OS?..
Oh wait that’s 12.4.
