An interesting article about v9.3 to be found at www.theinquirer.net. The article is titled, "SuSE 9.3 fails home-use test".
Cheers.
Yes, this aticle describes how I feel.
I also wanted, with all my passion, that SuSE be better than M$. After 40 years of technical programming experience I am still struggling with the SuSE system (eg YAST falling over, chasing / searching for stuff etc) after a year of SuSE.
I'll keep trying with SuSE, but if I want something quick I "fall back" (ie backwards) to my XP laptop. What can I do? My CD burner suddenly produces crap, unreadable disks under SuSE; obviously it is quicker to start up my XP machine and burn it there then to waste yet more time trying to debug the SuSE system. I am tired of fighting modern products. (That applies to choosing a shampoo ...)
I had hoped to drop M$ completely, but SuSE keeps driving me back.
Sorry Linux gurus, but I don't want to be a "Linux guru", I want to write application code on a robust, easy to configure O.S.

Yet you're some kind of programmer and can't figure out an OS as easily as many 'non' programmers...regular everyday 'Joes', like my 65 year old mom (who practically begged me to put Linux on her system, that's how sick and tired of M$' shit she was). What great and exciting and field leveling apps have you made that have rocked the computer world anyway? Maybe you should be called 'Stupor Programmer Man'.
My 30-year old friend "begged" me to replace his OS because he was also sick of how his system was (not) working. What I found is that in the 6 years he's had M$ installed he had never defragged his HD, had never deleted TEMP directory, or TMP, files, had just under 300 viruses and adware/spyware thingies, and had 1200+ crap Registry entries. BTW, I note that you carefully mention "Linux" but not SuSE 9.3. Which specific "Linux" distro are you talking about? Ciao. -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.
