I suppose I had a idea of what was coming after looking at the mailing list I never imagined that it would work straight out of the FTP nvidia and all. But there is a ton of anoying problems that I never had on 8.2. If it weren't for the fact that 8.2 totaly craps on my new motherboard (IDE, SATA, RAID, ethernet) and won't boot or let me try to fix it, I never would have upgraded. 9.0 on the other hand takes the hardware fine but stops working if I set the resolution over 1024x768 with nvidia, the system is slow and unresponsive which it should not be on a 3000+@400MHz FSB. SuSE has been good and they will certanly have fixed most of these things by 9.1, that's what you get for being the early adopter. Also my computer is now windows free, I needed somewhere to backup some data before changing my partitioning(something I have wanted to do for a long time) and the windows partition looked unneccesary and just the right size. As for all my problems they surely are solvable if I find the time/energy othervise Win2000 is making a return to get me trough the hectic 2½ months ahead. BTW If you are looking for a new motherboard stay clear of MSI, I have had nothing but trouble from it. It does not make it much further than POST if I don't crank the voltages up to the limit.

the system is slow and unresponsive which it should not be on a 3000+@400MHz FSB. Try acpi=off apm=off at boot or try removing the "desktop" at boot or any combination of these.

Robert, It has to be your install then, because I just installed 9.0 on a 750mhz Athlon and it is very responsive! Quite a bit more than I expected too, but very nice. It is also quite nice on my setup as well, so I'm thinking you have a bad install, questionable BIOS settings or some hardware problems. I am running KDE 3.2beta2 right now, which is way cool, but it was still nice with the original 9.0 install.

SuSE9 works. Running it now on a 233mhz pentium MMX with only 96megs of RAM. The SAMBA file server that works as the router print server firewall and gateway is of similar power. Just fixed the bugs for CUPS smbclient and xntp.drift.temp and I think every thing is fine. Acrobat prints as many pages as I want. If there really is a problem with Open Office I can not find it. Just so I do not have to write another of these in a few minutes I listened to the radio via realplayer and played freecell for awhile with no crashes. Was my problem that I did not bother to close up Netscape before I did this test? My suggestion for those of you who are having a problem - Describe your problem and ask for help politely.
