I'm not (quite) stupid enough to try a new version of anything on a critical system - I'm just fooling around with my own desktop right now. P4/3.5 Ghz, 2 Gb of ram, Nvidia 5700 video, a half dozen 250gb disks (half for linux LVMd, half for windows), Marvel miniport NIC, Soundblaster 5.1. Pretty standard stuff. I'm not giving up on SuSE yet by a long shot, but very much off the top this is the worst release I've seen from them. I purposely didn't install Xen and I disabled AppArmor as soon as possible, so where's the speed gone? I've already scrapped plans to upgrade my wife & son anytime soon.
I'll get a chance to actually use it this weekend, I hope. I know I'm going to have vmware pain but if I can't figure out what they did to cups and why I'm suddenly running backwards there's going to be a loud sucking sound from the east coast of the US.
Just venting (for now).

Hey Mike- I too have been using Linux for a while, SuSE since 6.2 and on many different hardware configurations. (I am an admin for a Linux exclusive ISP and a Unix admin for the government before that.) I just loaded 10.1 on an AMD 64 with an Nvidia 5200 card in it and had some problems due to the nvidia driver. The box would lock up when sax2 would start. What I did was install, did a hard reset when the system locked, booted into init 3 and built a new NVidia driver. After I did that Sax2 automatically installed it with hardware acceleration and auto detected my dual head setup using twinview. I thought that was the sweetest thing I have seen out of sax yet! Anyway.. I haven't noticed any speed issues. In fact in runs better than 10 did even with the neat 3d desktop. Are you just installing a standard KDE load? -- Matt Standish MSN Messenger: mps_@hotmail.com Yahoo Messenger: mattstandish@yahoo.com Google Talk: mstandish -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
