Received my copy of 8.2 today. Installation via CD-ROM had several read failures off the CD. Installation via DVD on second machine went fine, but YaST failed to correctly configure my Radeon cards. Wish I had my $60 back. ====================
Just curious Joel, are you disappointed in the cds being bad, SuSE 8.2 or your Radeon cards config? I can't say enough about SuSE 8.2 on my machine! The most polished version ever. When I started with 7.2, I couldn't believe how well a Linux distro could be, but I believe that SuSE caused a bigger WOW factor this time. :o) My Radeon plays nicely here. If you are using the newest boards, 9500, 9600, 9700 or 9800, then quite likely you may be disappointed. Get the ATI binary drivers for those, but that's not SuSE's fault nor the XFree86 guys as they are toiling as hard as they can to get everything working good. Guess there will always be a few that are disappointed, but it's not always the OS that is causing the problem either.
