Pretty darned slick so far!<\/p>\n<p>I must say that the &#8220;README&#8221; (a.k.a. <a title=\"Release Notes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.suse.com\/relnotes\/i386\/openSUSE\/11.0\/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html\" target=\"_blank\">Release Notes<\/a>)&#8211; which can be viewed during the file copy part of the installation process &#8212; is full of important info. I strongly recommend reading it, especially if you&#8217;re used to the way Opensuse 10.3 behaves. The installation is SUPER-slick, by the way, and so easy that anyone (even a first-timer) can do it.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem I ran into so far is not even Suse&#8217;s fault. My video card is not supported by Xgl, and as described in the README, Xgl is enabled by default on all machines with a supported video. The README also mentioned that I could use the command:<\/p>\n<p><code>xgl-switch --enable-xgl<\/code><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and I should be fine. But, it didn&#8217;t work for me. It just gave me errors that I didn&#8217;t really bother to look in to. So, I though I&#8217;d just move on to checking out the new Compiz admin tool, called:<\/p>\n<p><code>simple-ccsm<\/code><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;(don&#8217;t worry, the old <code>ccsm<\/code> is still there) and see what it looked like. The cool thing is that as soon as I launched the tool, it automatically enabled Xgl for me!! Then I moved on to find where they stashed all my favorite Compiz and Beryl stuff in the admin tool. By the way, I&#8217;m not sure, but Xgl seems faster now to me&#8230; maybe I&#8217;m just excited&#8230;\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m happy&#8230; so far&#8230;But I haven&#8217;t really done much yet. We&#8217;ll see how it goes as I start to use all the tools that I&#8217;m used to day-to-day&#8230; Either way, I move boldly forward! And I hope you will too.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know what your impressions are!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here I am, writing my first post from my new OpenSUSE 11 installation.
