I'm starting to get sick of everyone painting the update problems with disaster colours for the whole distribution. It's not a tragedy, ok? The rest of the system works perfectly, and now there's an update for the update system :-) So no need to stay pissed anymore. Enjoy the new 10.1. It's not bad at all. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

For folk that have computer as a pet, and pressure to buy new toys it is disaster not to have an update. The truth is that SUSE Linux 10.1 is really good and fast, promising more in further releases. Only problems that I can see are coming from the folk that need screaming new KDE or Compiz, and don't know how enough about the system architecture to fix things when it runs out of hands. Well, OK. That is who we are, experimenting with new is in the blood. Than later:"Hey guys, anybody knows how to fix a broken (pipe)?". -- Regards, Rajko.

Just to add my me-too. I watched the moaning on the mailing list... and held off on installing on my main desktop until after the "big fix" to the Zen thing was released. I took the plunge on Sunday night.. reformatted my root partition and installed 10.1. It went fine. The update system was updated during the install.. and it performs fine. No speed issues at all for me. After the desktop was up and runnign the updtaer tool wanted to update 54 packages... I gave it the OK and about 4 minutes later it announced it was done, and I could get on with things. The install seems stable (so far) and very fast. I'm very happy with it. There are only 2 issues I've had so far... sound didn't work, but that was solved by turning up the master volume :-) And... video... since the binary nVidia drivers are no longer "included" as part of the online update during install, things did NOT work well with video. My TFT native resolution is 1680x1050 but SAX wanted something else. Settign it to teh correct resolution pushed the monitor out of range. Fixed it all by downloading and installing the official nVidia drivers (which is no different than you have to do with Windows, is it?) and copied over a backup xorg.conf file I had (because I didn't have time last night to tinker in SAX to get it set up the way I wanted). So, now sound and video works... and I have dual head working as well.... so although there were 2 minor problems, I had them fixed inside of 5 minutes after the desktop first came up... and.. it just works... just like 10.0 did for me. Anyway.. thought it was worth sharing a positive experience after all the grousing from everyone :-) C. . -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Another mee too :-) No problems at all after installation on an older Fujitsu notebook - everything works, also sound and video. Online update was fast enough. Then I did run smart to install what the new installer would not show me - or what I did not see, i dunno - all easy and very nice. So now I long for the weekend to put it on the amd64 notebook :-) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Those of us with other Laptops can not find workable drivers for the builtin modems since 10.0 so 10.1 does not work for us... :-(
