openSUSE 11.2 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the new-and-shiny dept.

An anonymous reader tips news that openSUSE 11.2 has reached its official release. You can get it from their download page, or just grab the torrents (32-bit, 64-bit). "openSUSE 11.2 will come with the latest version 2.6.31 of the Linux kernel, the beating heart of every openSUSE system. The default file system of openSUSE will be switched to the new Ext4 as well. Of course, openSUSE will continue to support Ext3 and other filesystems — but on install, new partitions will automatically be designated Ext4. ... Desktops and servers can use the same kernel, but it's better to tune the kernel for the job at hand. That's why openSUSE now includes a desktop kernel specially tuned for desktop users. ... In addition to the work of the openSUSE Project in the desktop, openSUSE 11.2 includes the latest versions of the two desktop environments, KDE 4.3 and GNOME 2.28. KDE users will enjoy the new Firefox KDE integration, OpenOffice.org KDE4 integration, consistent KDE artwork and all standard applications being ported to KDE4 including KNetworkManager, Amarok, Digikam, k3b, Konversation and more."

    Oh and saying to run things through Wine isn't going to cut it. If freetards are going to claim that I can do everything in Loonix like one can do in Windows I don't want to have to use some emulator for Windows to get things running.

    I don't know what hole you crawled out of, but I suggest you stay there until you have legitimate concerns.

    So not being able to run native apps to buy from iTunes, sync my iPod and iPhone or a lack of profesional apps for doing image/video/audio editing aren't legitimate? No wonder you'll never have more than 1% of the desktop.
