| OpenSUSE forums merge |
Jun. 10, 2008
 With days to go before the release of OpenSuSE 11, the Project has merged its support forums to provide a single English-language destination for OpenSUSE questions. A new Novell-hosted "forums.opensuse.org" forum integrates the three largest English-language dedicated support forums, with support for other languages soon.
Launched on June 9th, forums.opensuse.org offers a unified forum for all English-speaking openSUSE users, says the openSUSE Project. It aims to integrate the three largest English-language support forums, including:- The OpenSUSE Novell support forums
- The SUSEforums.net site
- The SUSElinuxsupport.de site
Users who have an OpenSUSE account for the OpenSUSE wiki, bugzilla, and other services can use their existing username for the forums. However, SUSEforums.net and SUSElinuxsupport.de users will need to create new accounts.
The new forum site includes help forums on topics like installing and booting, desktops, scripting, hardware issues, network and Internet issues. The popular "Pre-Release/Beta" forum already has well over 200 posts -- no surprise, as several alpha and beta releases of OpenSUSE 11 have taken place over the last few months. OpenSuSE 11 features the flashy Compiz Fusion window manager, a new package manager, and lots more, according to the OpenSUSE news page.
The new forum site also includes community forums, such as surveys, polls, and opinions, as well as archives and news forums. The site is located here. The "GM" (gold master) release of OpenSuSE 11 is expected on Thurs., Jun. 12. More details can be found at OpenSUSE.org, here.
