Greetings to everyone on this forum. I'm new to the openSUSE world and I have a lot of beginner's questions, and the answers are in this forum are widespread in many topic , so I prayed that I get here in one place the answers to what interests me. Do not give me links to related topics because I read most of it and we still many things are not clear.
1.So far I have been for years on ubuntu, and I had a period of 5 years of support for LTS versions and upgrade to the new version of Ubuntu could very easily make the update manager with two clicks. In opensuse see that the support for the official 18 months so I wonder why such a short period of time and whether it is a simple upgrade to the new version or should always clean install?
2. On the second occasion I ubuntu start installation of the operating system could also click on the option to immediately install the multimedia codecs, and then after we install everything works well: mp3, flash, java, mpeg4, dvd ... I'm interested in who is the easy way in opensuse that we all multimedia works properly (and offline dvd mp3 online flash java misrosoft silverlight)?
3.Are these your official website from which you can install programs without fear of openSUSE: a) http://software.opensuse.org/131/en b) http://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php)
4.I see that the firewall is immediately present, and I want the antivirus because some files on the network and letting them before I check before sending it to the server and web hosting. Which antivirus you recommend and how to properly install ?
5. In a multi-function device have a scanner and a printer, scanner immediately recognized and installed a printer is not recognized automatically, but you have to manually install the HP F2200. Did I made a mistake somewhere in the process?
6. OpenSUSE I installed from scratch on a laptop, 1.75 GHz dual core, 8GB of RAM, the new machine, 64 bit, laptop has UEFI BIOS and secure boot, so I wonder whether openSUSE supports UEFI BIOS and the registration keys in secure boot, and that iso image to take off for installation on the laptop?
7.Sorry for the long question and the bad English. I'm working on specific tasks, and can not afford to have problems with the operating system and I'm wasting my time on debugging why all this detail I ask before I decide to Ubuntu to a different operating system. Ubuntu works great, but is ignored desktop users and therefore thinking about alternatives. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but I believe you understand my caution and the need for a stable and secure operating system that is used for work.
