In the past 24 hours with my x86-64 10.2 I had a kooka freeze-up, a vmware freeze-up, a video dvd playing freeze-up, about 6 or 7 firefox freeze-ups, access to a windoze computer shared folder freeze-up, about 3 konq freeze-ups, need alsaconf almost every time a "new" application requests sound, always have to reset volume down from max and so on... it is windoze95 all over again!!!!!
I know, "there is something seriously wrong with my system", I will adress that, also I know that individual apps are not a SuSE problem, however: 1. the same does *not* happen with older versions of SuSE in the very same hardware (ok, it's on a different partition, but that;s the only diff).
You toss off "... it's on a different partition ..." as if that fact is of no consequence, but if that partition has defective sectors, even if the error only occurred when they were originally written, and those erroroneous or error-prone sectors hold key operating system resources, then that could be responsible for the problem. Did you perform (allow the installer to perform) a media check on your openSUSE installation media? From my experience and what I've observed in others' installations, there's a pretty significant probability of an undetected error when writing a DVD from an ISO.

so i plead to all who have a say on what actually comes out as "working software": 1. STABILITY is more important than features.
I don't think anyone on this list nor anyone at Novell / SuSE needs to be told this.
2. It is WRONG to rely on the speed of new hardware to make up for bad programming.
The very notion is nonsense.

The rest of this rant is of no consequence. There are better places to park your soapboax.
