OpenSUSE Linux 12.2 for ARM released
- bitcartel 14y agoI imagine many Linux users are quite bemused at the speculation over rumours of OS X switching from Intel to ARM. When put into context, it's not that big a deal is it?
- jsight 14y agoGetting Mac OS X to run on ARM is no big deal. I'm sure there are internal test systems doing this already. Getting the entire ecosystem moved over is a very big deal. I don't see how an emulation approach can work this time, as the ARM chips would not be significantly faster than the chips they are replacing.
- andrewcooke 14y agoyay for opensuse. when they delayed 12.2 a few months back i switched to ubuntu on both my laptop and desktop/firewall/mail router/fileserver. but while i really like ubuntu on the laptop (seriously - unity is great), i missed the way that opensuse's yast simplifies / unifies service management on the main box (am i the only person in the world that expects to be able to configure lvm over raid on install - ubuntu server couldn't handle what seemed to be quite a reasonable config...). so when 12.2 came out i switched back to opensuse. it's great, and i wish it were more popular with american audiences - for me it's the perfect mix of ease of use and power. sorry, a bit off-topic really. i just feel frustrated that it's seen as a second class citizen compared to ubuntu and redhat, when in my experience (having worked with both those and others) it's by far the best for my kind of server/do-it-all use-case.
