I installed 10.2 opting for the Gnome UI. I like the new UI, but find looking for stuff not on the first pane to be slow coming up with the other window. My HP-F335 all-in-one was totally supported right out of the box, leaving only the scanner end of it to be configured. A nice change from 10.0. ZMD - what can I say? It still has a few gotcha's, currently my "orb" is DOA. Adding Channels - I'm not sure why they have to be synced with ZENnetworks, which seems to be either problematic or grossly time consuming, resulting in their not syncing at all. KDE - I think this iteration, as presented, puts it on a usability par with Gnome. In either UI case, I'm definitely more partial to the older style menu system. Neither one stands out as speedier than the other. Logitech Quickcam Messenger - This is the first time that I have seem a module installed for this camera, out of the box. No applications to use with it, but the module. I installed Ekiga, and managed to get a configuration to include the detected camera, but only black screen where the picture should be. Speed - This version is putting me in mind of the problem that I had with 9.3 which forced me over to Gnome for the duration of that install. The system is noticibly slower than my 10.0 install, and crawls when I use wget to grab an iso writing to my USB-Drive.
No show stoppers for me, and a number of things that I do like about it, enough to keep using it for now at least. I wonder what part of my slowness problem is due to Beagle running on my 733mhz Celeron with 512 M of ram, though when I was testing Sled10 with Beagle running, I did not experience this slowdown. NOTE: I would prefer to keep Beagle running, I like the search function of it, having used it several times. I do have the source to quickcam driver module, and could actually remove the provided one and install it qc-usb-messenger-1.6, but I'm curious as to which version of the driver that I'm running. I did a search in YaST's Software module filtered for provide and spec'ed quickcam but got no results. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
