Hi, Let me first say that i'm a Linux professional, i make my living off it and have been using it since -96. So far i've been a happy camper with SUSE (for 6 years now), but now i honestly have to say that i'm very, very, VERY disappointed with the quality of the latest release. Really sad :( Bugs just keep hopping left and right. So far i've had serious trouble with (i'll skip small annoyances, there are just too many of them to list): - Installer claims **random** packages missing from **original** media. Same stuff happens with several completely different pieces of hardware. Media check passes. Some installer internal race condition? - SUSE kernel does not even initialize on ASUS A8N X86-64 MB. Had to change kernel to mainline kernel DURING INSTALLATION to get system up. - Keyboard layout ( Finnish/Swedish ) on IBM T41 laptop seems completely broken. It's broken from the initial grub menu to the X. Looks like it thinks the numeric keypad is on the middle of the keyboard. Have no idea how to fix this - any ideas? - IBM T41 panel is not automatically probed anymore - .. -- // Janne
