Apart from what Bryen said about directed to the wrong list I think that you are underestimating openSUSE. Today I traveled to Larisa(a city about 150 klm away from my city) in order to attend to a presentation of KDE 4.6 that one member of the Greek openSUSE community was one of the speakers. After the presentation we went to a tavern along with people who use other distributions like Kubuntu and Gentoo and some others, at some point we all agreed that openSUSE is a polished desktop distribution(by polished I mean quality) also we all agreed that now-days openSUSE has an identity as a distribution and as a project. Now I only mention that because I was probably the only person there who was not a developer to a project and that strengthened my believe to the openSUSE Project even more. Of course I believe I don't have to say that I am saying all that friendly, you know that :-) Stuart For netbooks you should try the KDE Plasma netbook (http://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmanetbook/). I am using it for almost a month and I am really satisfied and impressed about its speed. Note that I used to have gnome and before that I had tested Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 some time ago. > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > Kostas -- http://opensuse.gr http://amb.opensuse.gr http://own.opensuse.gr http://warlordfff.tk me I am not me ------- Time travel is possible, you just need to know the right aliens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
