There's a Distrowatch review now, which unfortunately is one of those "Ubuntu & Mandriva" worked, "openSUSE crashes and is unstable" vareity. There are many who had opposite experience, but it would be nice to be able to rise above anecdotes and have actuall figures.
Unfortunately, reviews do tend to be "anecdotal" since it's limited to the hardware the reviewer has on hand.
For me, I wouldn't allow a reviewer to only test a new OS on only a netbook and an ancient system -- but, that's life.
Ars and others gave the release a good review. We have to expect at least one or two dings with each release.
Yes, the reviews have mostly been excellent, and the "feel" on forums is good to this time :) The Phoronix Benchmarks show us faster by significant amount Ubuntu 9.10 with RC1, which I think pitched desktop tuned kernels against an older server release. CentOS did great in serverside test things, with OS-11.2 ahead of U-9.10. Did we do anything with smolt though? It was one of the new features of 11.1 and it's visibility has been very low to me, even when I tried the "Register with Novell" option. Thanks for quick answer.
