I would imagine that the transition will be quite painful if you intend
to use 6.0 as your primary os. I intend to free up about a gig for a
6.0 install while I continue to use 5.3 as my primary os. I imagine
there will be substantial teething pains until 6.1 or even 6.2 is
released. To S.u.S.E.'s benefit, Redhat and Debian made the trip first,
so perhaps S.u.S.E. 6.0 won't suffer from the problems that Redhat did,
or to as great an extent anyway.
