Hello openSUSE 12.3! You were released into the big bad world on 13 March 2013 and you are fantastic!
Two weeks back, I installed 12.3 onto a new partition on my primary workstation/laptop in one hour. By the hour thereafter, and I do need to install quite a handful of additional software, I was working on my day job without skipping a beat. One of the software that is critical to my job is IBM Notes 9 Social Edition. As covered in my previous blog entry on the beta, IBM Notes 9 has been officially released on 2 March 2013. Look out for my next blog entry on installing the Generally Available(GA) version of IBM Notes 9 Social Edition on openSUSE 12.3.
Hand on my heart, 12.3 is a very worthy successor to 12.2. I am very happy with it, and if you know me, that says alot... BUT... there is one little usage/design point with the GUI of NetworkManager that got me confused and I was unable to get onto my office's Cisco LEAP wireless network. This was resolved eventually (after 3 days and a weekend) and it turns out to be a non-issue... or a usage issue... or... anyway, look out for this in my next entry.
