Just another oppinion. I been a Linux User since early kernel stages when I had to modify myselft the ADAPTEC driver to use my EISA Adapted. I been a SUSE User from version 5 and I usually upgrade all the systems as soon as a new version emerge to the market. But I think and most of us have to admit, that there is not way to compare Linux today with Windows or OSX for desktop. If you plan to use a complete and near perfect implementation of *NIX, go to OS X. It's run on an old prowerbook g4 500 more speede than Linux on my new Athlon 64 bits notebook. I have at home: 2 Netwinders Linux 1 Athlon 1400 server with 2 GB FreeBSD 1 Athlon 64 3200 Linux 1 Stylust running WinXP Tablet edition 1 IBM ThinPad 770X Linux 1 IBM Thinkpad PC110 Linux 1 Sony VAIO SRX51 Linux 1 ACER 1502 Linux 64 1 Powerbook Ti 500 OS X The only one that run with out problem as desktop the last one. I try to use Linux on several notebook, but all have a lack of.... drivers, ACPI, Graphics, Problems... If you want to use suspend to ram, perfect battery management and all this stuff. But if you want to wait sine die for the perfect linux system. The problem of SuSE is Linux kernel, the kernel is not ready for the desktop, still need two years. I read the same from a Linux guru 2 years ago. I like GNU/Linux, but if the Big HW nanufacturer did not start to provide the right support to the kernel, we can not get the best on our desktops.

Well, I've installed 9.1 on the following in the last week with absolutely no issues..
2 Dell P4 laptops 3 P4 servers ( 3ware and multiple gigE cards..etc) 2 IBM 390X Thinkpads 3 P4 workstations (burners, 3D cards..etc) 1 HP DL360 dual P4 1U server 1 Compaq DL760 4way Server
These are just the machines I've installed since I got 9.1. The iso's are on our internal server so our remote developers can install and test on various machines.. laptops, workstations and their home lan servers.
I'm not saying 9.1 is bug free.. if it's got chips or *i*s it's got issues.. but 9.1 isn't any worse then 9.0 was when shipped.
Just my 2 cents.
