SDCS/KPLUG July 12, 2018: Come see the new openSUSE!

[Tracy Reed]

KPLUG July 12, 2018 - Tony Su will be presenting:

Come see the new openSUSE!

Although most of the evening will be about foundation info for those who
are either new to openSUSE or use other distros, there will almost be
guaranteed topics advanced Users will not have seen before.

openSUSE is one of the most widely used, and popular Linux distros noted
for its ways of making difficult things possible whether you recently
switched from MSWindows or primarily use some other distro.

Through the evening,You will likely see...

Steps in an Install, see how easy it is to install default or customize

The "complete" YaST that enables setting up, configuring and adding
without touching the command line at all.

No graphical desktop? Remoting in using SSH without X? YaST in ncurses
mode still provides a text-graphical way of managing your machine.

If you're more interested in the power of the command line, tools both
unique to or enhanced by openSUSE that are far easier to use than what
you see in other distros.

Do you like Desktops? Maybe you're not so happy about your preferred
distro <cutting back> on supported Desktops? See what they look like on
openSUSE! Let's see how many Desktops we can show off!

Maybe you're not a home hobbyist or even do serious work with Linux at
work... openSUSE is taking the wraps off Transaction Server, a new way
of ensuring minimal Production downtime by making sure every patch,
every install or new configuration has to work or can be erased with
hardly a worry. In other words, you don't have to sacrifice new
features, fixes and improvements in the interest of rock-solid
Production reliability. And, as a bonus Transaction Server is
extraordinarily resistant to hacks like website defacement, malware
installation, etc even if your system isn't patched against those
hacks.
