SuSE 11.0 on EFIKA
« on: July 14, 2008, 04:10:52 AM »
I'm pro-linux so I wanted to give SuSE 11.0 a shot on my EFIKA.  I know this board is not the most powerful so I told the installer to install everything.  LOL.  Gnome is too slow, didnt try KDE.  Right now I'm typing this under IceWM and Firefox 3 beta 5.  If I minimize Firefox it does that quick but bringing it back is a little slow but very tolerable.  I havent went through my services or anything else to see what I can shut off to save on CPU cycles.

So far this is very cool.

no crashes whatsoever under SuSE 11.0.

Ok, I uninstalled KDE and beagle.  This thing is very useable.  Once my external enclosure gets here I'll put it in a case and post some pics.  Need to come up w/a way to shut it off since the PicoPSU doesnt have a way to shut it off w/a switch (unless i'm wrong)

the piece of paper underneath the vid card is just there to make sure nothing touches since its not in a case.  Its not really needed since I have a network cable holding it up.

you can streamline SuSE 11.0 on your own, meaning, look through yast to see whats installed and remove it if you're not using it or do that at installation time.
