I've been listening to this group about 2 weeks now.
A few rookies ( I hate that newbies word) such as myself have asked the usual questions and had great responses. I've watched higher level interchanges between some obviously very experienced folk.
Something is missing.

This is a new release, this 5.3. There seem to be no major problems with it. Am I right? Other than something about sound and a syntax error, I haven't heard of a really difficult problem. We can even talk tomatoes, there's so much room.
Well, there IS one major bug: When doing an installation in English language, YaST will crash on certain partition layouts. But this bug has been fixed and replacement CD-ROMs will leave the factory on monday. Besides of that we just have the "usual" problems that will always exist (I'm still investigating the PCMCIA problems with some hardware). Judging from the support here in Germany, there really doesn't seem to exist some killer bug. I think the only way to assure quality is automation of the production process. We have invested very much time on our autobuild system that is capable of creating the whole distribution with (almost) one single command. This way we can avoid most of the human factor that is responsible for many errors like typos and so on.
My hat is off to the SuSE development team. Even THIS Windows pup can install 5.3. The Linux community needs to see what a really great distribution looks like. I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
Danke schoen.
