Let's hope that 11.2 has a happier prognosis!

You mean, similar to many peoples experience with early adoption of 11.1 - Iost not one, but two hard drives due to low level corruption. I left to try other distributions, including Kubuntu, Knoppix, and Mandriva. Settled on Mandriva until it became painfully apparent that their repositories became hopelessly divergent from one to the other. I'm back with OpenSuSE, which seems to be a bit more stable. And the fact that, by following the dev blogs, I became aware that the release cycle was being extended to every 9 months rather than every 6 months. I'm "hoping" that 11.2 will be more stable and polished, otherwise it's back to hunting for another distro - and I've been using SuSE since 7.1 (2.4 kernel). I feared this when Novell bought out SuSE, pushing the Gnome desktop over KDE despite repeated angst against this and other advents made me worry. Let's hope the quality that has been a hallmark of SuSE returns (and no I don't expect perfection, just an OS that won't destroy hard drives and fail at the most inopportune times). YMMV With fingers crossed, Curtis. -- BEWARE! Spammers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!
