In this issue, the editor will bring you an example analysis of openSUSE 11.2. the article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates it from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

OpenSUSE uses KDE 4 as the default desktop by default, so let's see in advance what new features it brings. The KDE4 experience in openSUSE is enhanced every day, and KDE4 itself has matured enough since the last stable release. OpenSUSE 11.2 will present the new features of KDE4 to users.

New features include: openSUSE DVD version uses KDE 4.3 desktop by default; new Firefox KDE integration; OpenOffice KDE integration; complete and consistent KDE art; KDE4 version of applications including KNetworkManager, Amarok, DigiKam, K3b, Konversation, and so on.

KDE 4.3 is used by default

After the request to use KDE4 as the default desktop was posted to openSUSE's new features, there was a heated discussion in the openSUSE community. There has always been a large number of KDE fans in the openSUSE and SUSE Linux communities, supporters flooded into mail-listing petitions, and openSUSE's mail listing posts soared tenfold in August.

In the end, the community decided to use KDE 4 as the default desktop, and users could also choose GNOME during installation.

Firefox KDE integration

Recognizing the popularity of Firefox, openSUSE's KDE team decided to use Firefox as the default browser. Lubo "Lu á k" of the KDE group has done a lot of work to make Firefox more friendly to KDE users. The OpenSUSE version of Firefox will take advantage of the new features of KDE 4.

The main job of Firefox's openSUSE integration is to use the standard components of KDE, including file dialogs, application selection boxes, MIME type handling, notification systems, and so on, when Firefox accesses desktop resources.

The following video provided by Javier Llorente shows the above features:

KDE artists

The Nuno Pinheiro of the openSUSE community brings a new, consistent, and impressive theme to openSUSE 11.2.

More applications have been enhanced and migrated to KDE 4

KDE 4.3 is a complete and mature desktop environment, and a few KDE 3 applications are now fully ported to KDE 4. Will Stephenson, the developer of OpenSUSE and KDE, and other developers have fully migrated NetworkManger for KDE 4.3. Now ordinary users can use this powerful tool to configure their own network.

GTK+ program theme integration

The new qt-curve theme engine for GTK+ programs is now enabled by default in openSUSE 11.2. Even GTK+ programs can maintain the same style as KDE 4 programs.

YaST

The full name is Yet another Setup Tool. Is a tool for managing system-level settings on openSUSE to configure software installation, hardware, network, and servers. YaST has both GUI and command line interfaces, so that for desktop users, you can use GUI for more direct and convenient operations; for server users, you can use YaST to easily manage your system, even if you use ssh to log in remotely.

OpenSUSE 11.2 uses the * * version of Yast and rewrites the GUI interface based on Qt4 to better integrate with KDE4.

YaST's new software installation interface is faster and easier to use.

* YaST is a free software released by Novell under the GPL protocol, and you can get all its source code from http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/.

One-click-install

One-click-install, as its name implies, automatically installs software with one click. One of the troubles of Linux relative to ordinary users is that the process of installing software is complex, and if you want to install unofficially provided software, you need to solve the annoying problem of package dependency. Even if a distribution like Ubuntu provides PPA, you still need to manually edit the source.list to add a third-party source. It's much easier to have One-click-install in openSUSE. If you find your favorite software on the web page, click the One-click-install icon next to it, and openSUSE will automatically add the necessary sources, then automatically resolve the dependencies and install the software!

Now all you have to do is search for software in http://software.opensuse.org/search

Then click next to install it with one click.

Build Service

Build Service is an open platform for software construction and distribution. It can be used to build, distribute, and develop free software. OpenSUSE itself is built with Build Service.

In addition to openSUSE,Build Service, you can also build packages for other distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, and so on. It is worth mentioning that Build Service itself is well integrated with One-Click-install. Once the build is completed in Build Service, the system automatically generates an One-click-install link for you and can be indexed by http://software.opensuse.org/search.

You can register an account on http://build.opensuse.org to experience Build Service.
