to me it seems asif suse is always first to add new things to their distro. Why dont they first sort out all the little bugs for example: cd drive problems, wvdial and more than one network card will swop ip's. Maybe all these and more have been fixed in 9.3 seeing i am using 9.1. I like suse but it always seems asif there are small basic things that do not work as it should.
I'm running 9.1 here, I don't have any cd drive problems, wvdial when I use it instead of dsl works ok. I did have intermittent NIC problems on 2 of the 5 systems running 9.1 (one is now 9.3). I'm not too sure that 9.3 is going to be a good upgrade, but I've ordered it anyhow. I'll know when I go there whole hog. I've been using SuSE since 7.1 personal, and every update has always had more good in it than bad. I can't say that about Windows: Dos-95, fabulous, I hated 3.xx; 95-98, good but then it had to be MS-Dos and no other for the boot to DOS option to work; 98-ME, I won't be buying another version of Windows if I can help it at all. My son's laptop provided by his school with XP_Pro on it, doesn't impress me. At work I've used NT4, 2k, and XP-Pro, I'm not impressed by them from a user point of view. XP-Pro will trash the passwords, and seems to have deleted my account because I don't use it often enough. IIRC ME did this on occasion with some programs.
