New system -- 10.0 or 10.1?

I'm about to install a Linux system on a new box. I have the SuSE DVD for 10.0 and I assume I can download the one for 10.1, possibly minus some proprietary stuff (where can I find that if I want it?) Looking at posts here, it appears that people are having more problems with 10.1 than with 10.0; it looks like 10.1 has introduced a number of changes that broke things that were working in 10.0. So which one should I install? Linux releases seem to be like wine vintages; different vintages of the same product can vary greatly in quality, and newer isn't necessarily better. Paul
