Finally made the switch today. The switch was not as easy as 1,2,3.

Firstly, Kubuntu’s USB disk creator doesn’t burn openSUSE’s .iso to pendrives directly. Had to buy a DVD then install from it.

WiFi

Once installed, connecting to my wireless router was a bit tricky. When opening the network widget in the taskbar, it doesn’t detect the networks automatically

 

Had to go to YaST control panel then enable networking from there.

Postgresql

Getting postgresql was a bit of a pain to get it working. It is not as automatic as in Kubuntu. Had to follow this guide to get it working: http://sourceforge.net/projects/epgsql/files/

Then had to uncomment some lines in postgresql.conf such as port number etc.

 

Now, as i got postgres working, i need to continue working on my project. Later will have time to post more about the system itself. Hope i didn’t make the wring decision by the switch *fingerscrossed* 🙂
