openSUSE 11.2

openSUSE 11.2 went public a while ago and I thought I’d check it out. Suse was one of the first distributions I  began experimenting with linux on. I was impressed then (opensuse 9.0), and 11.2 does not let me down. Everything I’ve thrown at it  thus far has been successful. OpenSuse has always had a great KDE implementation, and KDE 4.3.1 that is shipped with 11.2 is no letdown. KDE 4.3.4 is available too from the repositories after some manual intervention. There are some small hiccups in getting the multimedia to work as it should, enabling the Packman repo and installing gecko-mediaplayer results in Firefox crashing every time you attempt to start it. RedDwarf has a newer release that fixes it in the build service however. Oh yeah, I’ve rebuilt the kopete-protocol-facebook plugin for openSUSE too, their version doesn’t show the buddylist. Get it from the build service. My repo is here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Magnu5:/Kopete-protocol-facebook-git/openSUSE_11.2/
