A few weeks ago, the OpenSUSE Project announced the release of OpenSUSE 11.0, the "community" edition of SUSE Linux, Novell's commercial Linux distribution. Here it's taken for a test drive.

RE[2]: I've tried it, but...

Well then explain how I'm supposed to use the broken interfaces in KDE which always worked in the previous OpenSuse distros from 9.3 until 10.2 to set up shares and connect only certain users to those shares with proper permissions.

I fail to see how it's done like it used to be. I reckon that Fedora would still work like it always has like that.

I don't care about command line and all that rubbish. We don't have a lot of trained IT staff, we need stuff done fast. Don't give me that crap about CLI being quicker, or easier or anything. It just isn't. You point, click and go. That's it. The point is to minimise mistakes not make things complicated. Whatever happened to keeping things simple.

EDIT: Fixed spelling

And this is why Linux isn't ready. Get things right. Don't bitch at me coz I don't have time. Want prime time users get prime time shit working. RTFM and all that is just an excuse. And before you have a go at me for that remember I'm used to distros WORKING! Like they should. Why have interfaces to things that normally work that don't. Why not just grey the lot out? That way I'll know I'm wasting my time.

I'm not having a go at the community per se, I have seen wonderful work done on all sorts of fronts, but show stoppers like this need to be done away with. Permanently.
