  I installed 10.2 opting for the Gnome UI.  I like the new UI, but find
looking for stuff not on the first pane to be slow coming up with the
other window.
  My HP-F335 all-in-one was totally supported right out of the box,
leaving only the scanner end of it to be configured.  A nice change from
10.0.
  ZMD - what can I say?  It still has a few gotcha's, currently my "orb"
is DOA.
  Adding Channels - I'm not sure why they have to be synced with
ZENnetworks, which seems to be either problematic or grossly time
consuming, resulting in their not syncing at all.
  KDE - I think this iteration, as presented, puts it on a usability par
with Gnome.  In either UI case, I'm definitely more partial to the older
style menu system.  Neither one stands out as speedier than the other.
  Logitech Quickcam Messenger - This is the first time that I have seem
a module installed for this camera, out of the box.  No applications to
use with it, but the module.  I installed Ekiga, and managed to get a
configuration to include the detected camera, but only black screen
where the picture should be.
  Speed - This version is putting me in mind of the problem that I had
with 9.3 which forced me over to Gnome for the duration of that install.
The system is noticibly slower than my 10.0 install, and crawls when I
use wget to grab an iso writing to my USB-Drive.

  No show stoppers for me, and a number of things that I do like about
it, enough to keep using it for now at least.  I wonder what part of my
slowness problem is due to Beagle running on my 733mhz Celeron with 512
M of ram, though when I was testing Sled10 with Beagle running, I did
not experience this slowdown.  NOTE: I would prefer to keep Beagle
running, I like the search function of it, having used it several times.

  I do have the source to quickcam driver module, and could actually
remove the provided one and install it qc-usb-messenger-1.6, but I'm
curious as to which version of the driver that I'm running.  I did a
search in YaST's Software module filtered for provide and spec'ed
quickcam but got no results.
