In Australia, I have had SuSE 9.1 Pro on a pre-order since mid-April...still waiting.
Still, after reading the postings on this list I am glad. Hopefully all your Horror Stories of installation and configuration will be solved with patches before I go to install. :-)
It still hasn't shipped. What are they doing, having monks transcribe the documentation by hand? As far as horror stories, I haven't been following. Are there more problems with 9.1 than previous version, or are expectations simply higher?
I finally received mine today. I had ordered it on May 13th and it was shipped on the 15th. When I received it, the shipping carton was beat up & taped together. and the SuSE product box was also damaged. It appears as though the damage occurred after it cleared customs, so thank you Canada Post. It also took them 8 days to deliver it after it cleared customs, even though the total distance from the airport, to the postal sorting station to here, would be less than about 16 Km (10 miles) Despite the damage to the packaging, the contents appear to be in good shape.
