openSUSE 11.2 worth the wait

Posted on 12 November 2009, 6:40 am, by zaine, under linux/open source, opensuse.

I’m a confirmed distro-hopper, but openSUSE 11.2 works so well that Microsoft should begin to worry about desktop Linux.


  • It installed in 11 minutes, which included a 2Tb HD format for the EXT4 filesystem.
  • Recognized my second drive during installation.
  • The integrated KDE Firefox is nice. Hardly noticeable until you remember its old look.
  • Win7 running in VirtualBox. It installed in 30 minutes. Not bad!
  • Droid Sans font family scales well and reads well on the the 24-inch screen!

The only real change I made after installation was to make the system font Droid Sans. Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono, Droid Sans Fallback, and Droid Serif is a font family designed in 2006-2007 by Steve Matteson at Ascender for Google’s Android. I love it.

This is a distro anyone could use.
