openSUSE Slowroll

A stable rolling release distribution positioned between Leap and Tumbleweed

Slowroll provides a stable rolling-release experience by combining monthly snapshots of Tumbleweed and in-between updates for bug fixes and security patches. It’s designed for users who don’t want the very bleeding edge of openSUSE Tumbleweed, yet don’t want to wait 12 months or more for major updates as with openSUSE Leap.

Note: Experimental Phase

Currently Slowroll is still in an experimental phase, therefore you should be mindful of potential issues (especially with third-party repos) until it matures.

Bandwidth Friendly

Slowroll reduces bandwidth consumption by limiting updates to monthly snapshots plus essential patches, making it ideal for users with limited internet access.

Tested Snapshot Base

By using snapshots of Tumbleweed that have already undergone testing, Slowroll lowers the risk of major regressions compared to truly instantaneous rolling updates.

Modern Software with Stability

Get access to more up-to-date packages than in a traditional fixed-release (Leap) while maintaining more conservatism than full rolling. Great for desktops where you want current features but less frequent upheaval.

Defined Update Cadence

Slowroll uses a predictable update schedule – big updates approximately once a month, plus security/bug‐fix updates as needed. That predictability makes planning easier for users and administrators.

Built-in Snapshot Protection

Leveraging the underlying openSUSE infrastructure (with Btrfs snapshots, etc.), Slowroll allows you to rollback if something does go wrong — giving extra peace of mind for less frequent but bulkier updates.

Metalink Escolher Servidor (Mirror) Soma de Verificação (Checksum) Signature

Escolher a Media a Descarregar

A Imagem Offline é tipicamente recomendada, pois contém a maioria dos pacotes disponiveis na distribuição e não necessita de uma ligação à rede durante a instalação.

A Imagem de Rede é recomendada para utilizadores que têm uma largura de rede limitada nas suas conexões à internet, visto que irá apenas transferir os pacotes escolhidos para instalar, provavelmente bem menos de 4.7GB

Documentação

  • Processador de 2GHz com dois núcleos ou melhor
  • 2GB memória RAM física + memória adicional para a sua carga de trabalho
  • Mais de 40GB de espaço livre no disco
  • Ou um leitor de DVD, ou uma porta USB para a media de instalação
  • Acesso à internet é útil, e necessário para o Instalador Online

Verifique a Sua Transferência Antes de Usar

Muitas aplicações podem verificar o CHECKSUM da transferência. Verificar a sua transferência pode ser importante, pois verifica que realmente tem a Imagem ISO que pretendia transferir e não uma versão corrompida.

For each ISO, we offer a checksum file with the corresponding SHA256 sum, and a signature file with a cryptographic signature.

To ensure integrity of the downloaded file you can use sha256sum to verify the checksum, and gpgv to verify the cryptographic signature.

It should be AD48 5664 E901 B867 051A B15F 35A2 F86E 29B7 00A4
