Re: GNOME & openSUSE

I have never used openSUSE before but it looks to me like GNOME is
configured different in openSUSE when compared to other distros. For
example the computer menu in openSUSE is totally different. It is a
little windows-vista like (in the good sense). Is that because is using
a newer version of gnome or it is really configured on a different way?
Another question: What is the keyboard shortcut to use the 3d desktop
(linux cube) on openSUSE?

So far openSUSE is the best linux I have tried.If I start professionally
installing Linux to my customers openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise are
leading my choice!

Don't know much about other distros other than FC, and OpenSuSe 11.0 is
more user(gui) friendly than OpenSuse 10.3 and FC. Seems like they
worked hard to put add working gui controls for most of the desktop
functions.

If you're satisfied that should be all that matters.

Enabling the Desktop 3D Cube (Compiz) depends on
#)1 your graphics card
#)2 installed 3D drivers for the graphics card
#)3 enabling Compiz in the "Desktop effects" menu ("Look and Feel" in
OpenSuse 11).

Read the OpenSuse Release Notes.
