Sorry Mike but I think his problems started with a YOU update not an upgrade. YOU updates should really be stable.
Indeed. This is what happened. And they should be stable.

Before this gets out of hand:
Features, hardware support, and stability, are three things and none of them are related. If you want features to make it rival Windows, don't expect stability. If you want good hardware support, same thing, new hardwre can't work unless it isn't tested as much. If you spend all the time testing for bugs it doesn't get released.
SUSE is the only distro onn earth that I've ever seen mix these all together without being unstable.
Look at the most stable OSs in the World:
BSD
Solaris
AIX
Slackware
Now when is the last time you saw any of those have flashy new features?
SUSE can easily stay up, I've never had it crash and I use FTP, HTTP, and a million things on it and the box isn't even near the RAM it should have. It doesn't crash.
Firefox is a flash new browser, if you want stability instead, use Netcat.
Oh please.
#1 - This isn't the first time YOU has broken something recently. I had it break a kernel on my once recently because the mirror was bad. Ridiculous.
#2 - Firefox is a pretty basic piece of software. I don't see why they shouldn't test it before releasing it. I've been using Linux solely as a home OS for over 4 years and have rarely if ever had a problem with the web browser. Not on SuSE, at least.
No browser is basic, if you truely believe that, quit your day job, and buy a big calculator. That's one of the most retarded things I've ever seen on this list. And that last reply you made, the guy said he didn't even update with YAST and you said "But it IS a SUSE problem"....*Sigh*.
