OpenSuse-12.3

OpenSuse-12.3
I received a copy 64 bit OpenSuse-12.3 today from Linux Magazine.
The copy of 12.3, I downloaded by torrent was faulty to begin with.
I did not investigate t or report it to SuSe.
To my surprise the copy I received with the Linux Magazine was also faulty (64 bit version).
To their (Linux Magazine) credit they checked the DVD and send me another copy with the another copy of the magazine.
Linux Magazine is dedicated to the customers.
Big Thank YOU.
After many milestone checkups the SuSe community got it wrong.
I have stop complaining to them for the last 3 years, anyway.

As for the Suse 12.3 is concerned it is pretty good.
I installed LXDE to save resources and it is sleek.
It has Gnome and KDE which is a plus point.
I believe they have shed lot of unnecessary stuff.
Its YAST (one of the best) is also pretty good.

However, it did not configure my network automatically and I am writing this report with Ubuntu based Regal Titanic on board.
I did not bother to configure network manually.
Suse was a very good distribution but it has lost part of its "crunch".
Overall it is much better than 12.1.
