openSUSE 12.2 Review – Linux Distro Reviews
December 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Should I look at the other openSUSE desktops (Gnome, Xfce etc.)?== A review of the openSUSE 12.2 RC2 KDE edition. openSUSE has long been known for its stablility, dependability and innovation, and this release is right on par with those goals. Some backend changes have led to much better performance with package management, and flitered search on Yast makes system admin so much easier. Definitely recommended for the power user.
