I want to add my "well done" for a most excellent 10.3 release.  The
smoothness of the update mechanism is worth the switch if nothing else,
especially for those who remember the disastrous 10.1 release.

I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3 rather than doing a fresh install.  I was
asked to resolve some package conflicts (due to my adding non-openSuSE
rpms it would seem).  I did so, performed the install, and then added
them back.

Performance is about the same as before.  My number crunching routines
are running 2-3% faster, but that's due to the newer kernel I suspect.

The only problem I had was with VMware Workstation 5.5, which would not
re-install with the new kernel.  I kept getting a compile error.  I
upgraded to version 6 (asked for a 30 day eval license) and that
installed fine.  Then, when I launched a windows virtual machine, I
found that bridged networking didn't work but NAT did.  A simple change,
and perhaps there's a simpler fix.

My only complaint:  green isn't my favorite color.  (Fortunately, that
was easily fixed!)

Again, my thanks and a "well done" to the openSuSE team!
