Well, one of them is a lemon.
The Asus motherboard was a struggle even with Suse 9.3
It sounds promising, AMD_64, integrated wireless, SATA, gigabit ethernet, sound. nVidia card to round it out.
For Suse 9.3, upgrading the bios to 1008 really helped. (1009 breaks it again). Quite stable.
Suse 10 is difficult to install. Can't read the DVD consistently. Even installing from the network is problematic. Critical packages won't install. Graphics detection segfaults. Yast segfaults. Online upgrade crashes. Basically unusable.
I'd blame the hardware, if 9.3 weren't working so well. What's up with 10?

SuSE 10 is running on several Asus P4B800 and P4P800 boards here. No problems. 9.3 is on some too. I've never had any problems with SuSE and ASUS, but I stick to the models with a track record. I tried an SE once and it didn't even work well with windows... <shrug>.

Thanks, Mike. How does this help except that all Asus boards aren't a problem? Just the one in front of me.
