I never tried 8.0, however in general I am quite happy with 8.1 professional on my home computer. The one big problem that I had was dealing with the change in the bootloader from LILO to GRUB. Having gone through it, GRUB is definitely easier to configure and use than LILO was. Unfortunately I could not find any documentation on setting up my initrd modules in GRUB, the LILO instructions do not work, so I had to spend many hours figuring it out on my own. If you are not needing to customize your boot configuration then you will never need to worry about the new GRUB loader.

Thanks.

As far as I was concerned, 8.0 was the version from hell. It was unstable (at best) on all machines I used ran it on. 8.1 is the complete opposite. No idea why this should be as other people seem to be happy with 8.0. Both versions get/got regular updates including everything I find on the suse ftp sites, and now kde 3.1. My only problem at present is that I often have to kill dhcpcd and ask for another IP address from the server. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html -- 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
