Sure, *all* the *nix distros have their problems, but for a ten year old on the block, it's doing a damn fine job.

I don't agree totally. This is a product we pay for. I pay for it because I want to buy a superior distribution and contribute to OS development. But there are some kooky bugs with SuSE 8.1 that just can't be explained, that weren't there in 8.0. I crashed CONSTANTLY until I turned ACPI and APIC off via commands to the kernel on boot. I had a problem during install where I had to remove USB devices in order to configure X. Real showstoppers that SuSE shoudl have caught or should have some fix or explaination for by now. Preston
