I just did a full install of 8.1 and it was extremely nice. Everything was detected, and I am really loving the look and feel. Unfortunately I initially tried to do a simple upgrade from 7.3 pro to 8.1 pro, but it caused a big can of worms. The best approach so far is a complete/fresh install. I wish we could do a simple upgrade but I've never had one work well so far. That's about my only complaint. Generally speaking, SuSE really outdid themselves with 8.1. Good job! Best Regards, Gary
