Star openSUSE 11.0: 'Smooth Outside, Rough Inside'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 1st Jul 2008 15:03 UTC, submitted by sb56637
SuSE, openSUSE Most reviews - so far - of openSUSE 11.0 have been quite positive, but that doesn't automatically mean everybody is happy. TechReview offers some criticism of the latest offering from openSUSE. "openSUSE 11.0 is a difficult system to qualify. Highlights include good availability of current packages and YAST GUI configuration tools for some advanced features. However, these advantages are largely eclipsed by a chaotic, dysfunctional package management system and marginal performance. New Linux users with more complex network configurations or challenging hardware may be forced to use openSUSE due to its unique innovations in GUI system configuration. Yet, experienced and inexperienced users alike may find themselves increasingly frustrated by the grave lack of refinement in what is an otherwise capable Linux distribution."

Sax2. Yes, that is a pain. I have a laptop and a desktop with NVIDIA cards, I can't get my favourite resolution in either. I had for some time an ATI in my desktop, I couldn't use openSUSE, while Kanotix worked fine.
I'll start a campaign for rewriting Sax2.


I am not sure but guessing, but your problem may be solved if you go for LCD in screen resolution settings. Sax2 always worked for me and I love it.
