Hi, I noticed your post a while back but haven't had a chance to respond. Too busy. Shortly I am glad that some people had problem free experience with SuSE 8.1, I am happy for them. I do hope that some of the SuSE developers are watching this list, but still I will submit my problems trough the feedback form. As far as the Kylix issue, I wrote a kylix 3.0 review for linux journal about a month ago. I think it should be printed in the January issue. I mention exactly that issue too. Since I don't want you to wait till than to get this info here is a summary. I haven't had a chance to toy around with the problem much but as I describe in the article one way to mitigate that problem is to run a "ps" on your system when kylix freezes. Than attach with "strace -p" to the only kylix process that is in a R state. Than watch kylix come back to life. I reported this issue to Borland a while back and got a ticket number but I never received any response as if either me or the problem existed. Afterall maybe we don't :-) Hope this helps. Just so you know, since I am terribly busy I am not sure when will I have more time to read this mailing list again. Anyway good luck :-) -- Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment. -Dr. Nikola Tesla
