I haven't tried to install or use anything else yet, but if this is an indication, I don't have a good feeling about 10.1 at all.
Mike, is this your most important system?? If yes then yeah do not go ahead as it sounds like you may be right and really have problems ... I personally have had a case with 9.2 where the installer would just not work with a specific graphics card that worked fine with other versions ... that did not stop me though I installed in text mode with horrible views even in that mode from memory of where all options are and once done it was a charm :).
All I am try to say if it is a machine you cannot live without then hold back and do some investigation first if not ... you are using Linux right ... that makes you someone (in my mind at least) who is not afraid of change right?? I mean if you are afraid that things might crash show me one system os/program that never did for everyone that used it ... sofware will always crash and even when it does not people will still say it does not work 'cause they have the caps lock on or the keyboard is unplugged... sorry for the simplifications :)
good luck, george
Hi George, I'm not (quite) stupid enough to try a new version of anything on a critical system - I'm just fooling around with my own desktop right now. P4/3.5 Ghz, 2 Gb of ram, Nvidia 5700 video, a half dozen 250gb disks (half for linux LVMd, half for windows), Marvel miniport NIC, Soundblaster 5.1. Pretty standard stuff. I'm not giving up on SuSE yet by a long shot, but very much off the top this is the worst release I've seen from them. I purposely didn't install Xen and I disabled AppArmor as soon as possible, so where's the speed gone? I've already scrapped plans to upgrade my wife & son anytime soon. I'll get a chance to actually use it this weekend, I hope. I know I'm going to have vmware pain but if I can't figure out what they did to cups and why I'm suddenly running backwards there's going to be a loud sucking sound from the east coast of the US. Just venting (for now). Mike- -- If you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough. -- Please note - Due to the intense volume of spam, we have installed site-wide spam filters at catherders.com.
