Hello,
I was joking. As in "only sexy desktops are allowed...."
Of course you can use any - but you are not morally allowed...
Lost in translation...

Lodore,

Here is the link for SUSE 10.1 with KDE virtual machine:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/508

Here is the link for KDE 3.5.5 on SUSE 10.2:

http://developer.kde.org/~binner/vmware/

There are also liveCD's, liveDVD's available also. I have direct download links for those in my downloader program if you want them. Can post them or PM them if you want them. I know there is a 64-bit liveCD/DVD for the KDE-SUSE 10.2, but don't have the link for posting right now. I can't remember if the download was at KDE website or openSUSE, but could probably find it rather easily if you really needed it.

 

i would like a 32bit live cd link please
i prefer KDE from looking at there site earlier.
i am also gonna try mandriva linux later as well.

Here is the direct download link for the 32-bit SUSE 10.2 w/ KDE LiveDVD:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/iso/dvd/openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-i386.iso

The Mandriva is a torrent download, so don't have direct link.

 

Question to Mrkvonic.

Completely new to Linux so bear with me if you will.
Thought I would give Suse running in a VMware virtual machine a try to introduce myself to the delights of a "proper" operating system.
So, have downloaded the ready made KDE 3.5.5 with Suse from the VMware website. Archive size is 833Mg. Hope this is the right one.
Then extracted this file to its own folder and have 4 files.
1. KDE 3.5.5 on openSuse 10.2.vmdk
2. KDE 3.5.5 on openSuse 10.2.vmx
3. KDE 3.5.5 on openSuse 10.2.vmsd
4. nvram

Really not sure where I go from here. Could you (or someone) please advise. As you can see, this is very new for me, but would very much like to try.
Many thanks.

OK - quick version:

1. Open VMWare Player
2. Go to your folder that contains these files. Open the folder.
3. Double-Click on the .vmx file
4. You're off to the races!!!

 

Hello,

You could use VMware Server as well - offers many more options.

Once you get the hang of SUSE:

Build your own virtual machine
Try to install SUSE as a guest OS in that virtual machine.

Thankyou all for your helpful replies. It seems a bit buggy on starting in the VMware, but if it does open it asks for passwords. I know I have seen them somewhere, but cant find them now.
Thanks again

 

In the page where you downloaded, you'll find the password.
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ .

 

Thats what I thought, but if it is there. I cant see it.

 

When you clicked download, you open this page http://developer.kde.org/~binner/vmware/ , where:

 

Haha...

Yeah, I find dwm sexy Same with ratpoison You better watch out though, the eyecandy is considered a bit obsessive with each, and you need a blazing pc to run it . Also, since KDE is so light along with GNOME, I just can't seem to run it Same with Beryl, my 16 MB graphics card just runs too quickly and instead of a spinning cube, all I see is a blur.

In terms of vmware and virtual machines, installing your own machine is always the way to go in my opinion. It gives you a greater understanding of the operating system, lets you configure it the way you want, and ultimately prepares you for the leap to installing it on a real pc (that's how I learned most I know albeit little of freebsd)

Unbelievable isnt it. Terrible thing this old age. The number of times I looked at that page. Thankyou for your help.........and your patience...........

 

No worries
It can happen to anyone.
