Cristian, sounds like your getting beat up. So here is a word from a different customer. I have been a 30 desktop 4 server SuSE customer since v7. I went to 8 but skipped 9. When I needed something new (New time zones in this case) I was in the area of 10.2 and found things had changed but mostly for the better. 10.3 is even better. Oh yea there are always things that could use better explanations (LDAP=MUSH) but for the most part all is well at the 10.2/10.3 levels. If I had to make any suggestions it would be that some of the end user desktop stuff like audio and video and various "standard" utilities in the Windoze world need major work by a smart guy to set things up. Did I just call me a smart guy? I still have not figured out IF I can upgrade systems from 10.2 to 10.3, nor can I figure out how to make a patch CD (or even if I can use it to apply fixes to all my hidden from the net computers. Not everyone can find the docs on the web like: Hacking openSUSE 10.2 HACKING OPENSUSE 10.2 Written by Jem Matzan Dec 10, 2006 at 05:25 PM This opened my eyes wide for how to make SuSE useable by some of our normal computer users. That document should be the basis for what could be done in SuSE to make it ready for normal users to make use of. I even run SuSE 10.3 on my personal home computer! For the first time I can say I can do most of what I need from Linux. With wine I have made several Windoze based apps available to SuSE but the vendors like Quicken keep making the programs harder to wine with. Quicken 2008 does not run at all in wine. (Does not run well on vista, but what does!). If I had more time I would work on more of my pet problems but for now SuSE is still not my companies Primary O/S. It does hold all of our major money making applications though! Tim Ertl V.P.

Quality has definitely declined since 9.3.
And what you are doing to improve it then ? talking and whining is very easy...
10.0 and 10.1 have both been disappointments for me. Too much stuff that used to work flawlessly became problematic.
The sw management problem has been discussed to death, please read the mail archives before raising the annoying zmd thing again, that problem has been fixed. argh. -- There is always some madness in love.
