Before then, 8.2 gradually deteriorated to unusability. 9.2 has _already_ degraded to unusability.)
Have you been upgrading only, since 8.2 or are you doing fresh installs each time. The reason for asking, Is because I have ran into problems with just doing O.S. upgrades. Regardless, if it's Linux, Windows and Mac.
This is a fairly modern machine, and XP runs perfectly on it.
Really, I have an AMD 500 mhz server for home usage running non stop and it's even faster with 9.2 instead of it's previous 9.1. I'm still amazed over that. I know it gets frustrating in this computer world. You just can't give up and lay down. You will run into numerous Window problems as well! All O.S.'s make you lose your hair, kick pc's, throw laptops, hang books from ceilings with ethernet cable. The list goes on and on. :) JD On Friday 19 November 2004 17:42, Doug McGarrett wrote:
Hello, all--and probably goodbye--
I know you have been helpful thruout all this time-- I've been with SuSE since 7.1, but I've had it. The mail program (KMail) seems to forget its SMPT information, it also forgot its screen mode, now having to click twice on a message, and then having it come up in a little quarter- screen window. I've never been able to get any kind of sound, much less video, even tho the built-in noises work. Open Office will no longer open. I don't know where I go from here-- back to XP, for a while, I guess. I have a copy of Free-BSD, which I've never tried, but I guess I will. (9.1 crashed in such fashion that nothing would revive it.

I guess I will be watching for a few days, while you all flame me, but enough is enough. Thank you for the help you have offered over the years.
