Phoronix: OpenSUSE 12.1 Is Set For Release Today

OpenSUSE 12.1 is set to be released later today. In this article are the first benchmarks of openSUSE 12.1 compared to the earlier openSUSE 11.4 release.

"Plasma Desktop from KDE is the default workspace on openSUSE."

So much for the comment in the article "this popular Linux distribution, openSUSE 12.1 ships with the GNOME 3.2 desktop complete with a relatively stock GNOME Shell. KDE SC 4.7 and Xfce 4.8 desktops are also available".

To be accurate, it should actually read "this popular Linux distribution, openSUSE 12.1 ships with the KDE SC 4.7 desktop. Xfce 4.8 and GNOME 3.2 (complete with a relatively stock GNOME Shell) desktops are also available".

Benchmarks should compare KDE performance changes between openSUSE 11.4 and openSUSE 12.1.

I have created a Multimedia Pack portable for openSUSE, the included programs and codecs are:


1) vlc
2) mplayer
3) smplayer
4) xine libxine1
5) devede
6) avidemux
7) K3B
8) K9Copy
9) Audacity
10) dvdrip
11) ffmpeg
12) transcode
13) PACPL
14) Mjpegtools
15) dvdstyler
16) sox
17) audacious
18) lame
19) dvdshrink
20) mediainfo
21) isomaster
22) w32codec
23) libdvdcss

you can install any of the above without internet, they include all
the dependencies, just unzip the both files into a folder named MMP
and create a repository from that folder as a simple rpm folder in yast,
then make a search in the yast installer with the name of the program
and check it to install it, this is very important if you don`t have
internet at home, and besides, by default Open Suse doesn`t include
several codecs due to license matters.

I have created a blog about the MMP where you can download the pack:
