1) Haven't tried yet ;)
No problem here
2) 3) No pbm here Ditto
4) What do you mean by different modes? Have encountered it, sometimes I need to install the CD a few times or use the other CD-ROM.
5) No pbm. Ditto
6) 7) Only an apt-get away. maybe one day Novell will include it out of the box which will increase the retail price of the boxes I guess. Apt-get is a poor solution ... this should be a YaST upgradable part. Third party providers, such as Packman should provide a YaST compatible download site.
8) Yep agreed YAST seemed to act strangely. Only problem I have with networking, is the "name" of the computer, which I'd like to supercede the IP. Imo, /etc/hosts should get updated by YaST to have the computer name always have the correct IP, based on a real interface.
9) Didn't measure speed but transfered back and forth 60GB of music from a firewire HD connected to my linux box to a WinXP box with no trouble. Have a server running, with samba3 + ldap ... granted, Linux does require some more memory here.
10) Can't comment, I don't have an ATI graphics card. Always seemed to me that nVidia had better support (eventhough they're still proprietary drivers) No ATI card, Nvidia works great.
11) RTCW, NWN, America's Army, Enemy Territory, Quake3 all playing fine. I have a Sparkle GeForce 5900XT. Maybe a pbm with ATI 3D drivers(?) Have a 64bit system, so the old 32bit code RTCW, AAO, ET, Quake3 don't work. But have UT2004 (64bit) running ok. Except I get complaints on the net, for the Linux 64bit version is a lot faster than their windows 32bit counterpart. Frame speed is the key to success in these FPS games.
12) Well, take a phone, call Steve or Bill in Redmond and ask them to help for better interoperability. Prepare to be crucified... Linux should focus on providing the required functionality, rather than interoperability. Still needed is Accounting, Database Access, DVD playing, MP3 (or equivalent) out of the box.
13) Different toolkits. Is a good thing ... Linux should not be idiot-proof.
14) Well, it will get better but this is one of the weak points with linux on the desktop. No comment.
15) No pbm. Ditto.
16) Can't comment. Ditto.
17) My wireless mouse is working although I have the KVM pbm... My wireless Logitech Keyboard + Mouse work perfectly. Granted, the multimedia keys don't work, but lineakd is there ... it just needs a bit more work.
18) Cant' comment. No wireless here to comment either.
However, there are a few functions here that are mysteriously fucked up. Like trying to reboot this machine, will hang it somewhere between "shutdown" and "reboot". That is, linux will shutdown properly and the light on my flat panel will turn yellow and will stay there, the machine is suspended rather than rebooted. Shutting it down, works ok though. So, I consider the guy to have a valid point that some "basic" functions need to be working stable. My 0,5€ worth.
