[SLE] SuSE 9.1 was not for me a waste of time and money !
Hi all, Reading the difficulties you meet with 9.1, I think that reporting satisfaction is necessary. My system : - dual pIII 933 Mhz processor, - dual embedded SCSI controller ( not adaptec but LSI !!!) - VIA chipset !!! - Nvidia GeForce 5900 !!! - 8 SCSI units : 3HD, DVD, CD writer, CDrom, Scanner, DAT - Pinnacle TV - SB Live - KDE3-3.2 and SuSE 9.1 recognised all my hardware at new install. I used all the releases of SuSE from 7.0 and I never upgrade. Everything runs OK : - VMware 4.5 - Upgraded Wine Rack - Nvidia drivers with 3D and AGP 4X (problem here with the framebuffer with latest releases of the driver but not due to SuSE) - 1024x768 TV out - ... Since I use VMware I disabled the use of subfs in fstab. I have just difficulties with Xine, I'm working on it .. and with ... the alcatel speedtouch ADSL USB modem no longer works, it looks like a compilation compatibility and as the alcatel module isn'i open source I'm not able to recompile it. It was a good occasion to fire this modem and buy an ADSL ethernet router. I'm willing to share my experience if I can help someone. Looking forward... Michel.

I agree- I've had no problems with SUSE 9.1 (Professional) at all. Small network, scanner, USB bits and pieces, etc., etc. Terence

Count me to. IBM Thinkpad X30 with mPCI Cisco wireless LAN, DHCP, Canon iR2200 machine as printer. Everything works perfectly. -- AV SuSE 9.1 Pro RLU #128180
Well, I've installed 9.1 on the following in the last week with absolutely no issues.. 2 Dell P4 laptops 3 P4 servers ( 3ware and multiple gigE cards..etc) 2 IBM 390X Thinkpads 3 P4 workstations (burners, 3D cards..etc) 1 HP DL360 dual P4 1U server 1 Compaq DL760 4way Server These are just the machines I've installed since I got 9.1. The iso's are on our internal server so our remote developers can install and test on various machines.. laptops, workstations and their home lan servers. I'm not saying 9.1 is bug free.. if it's got chips or *i*s it's got issues.. but 9.1 isn't any worse then 9.0 was when shipped. Just my 2 cents. - Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
Just another oppinion. I been a Linux User since early kernel stages when I had to modify myselft the ADAPTEC driver to use my EISA Adapted. I been a SUSE User from version 5 and I usually upgrade all the systems as soon as a new version emerge to the market. But I think and most of us have to admit, that there is not way to compare Linux today with Windows or OSX for desktop. If you plan to use a complete and near perfect implementation of *NIX, go to OS X. It's run on an old prowerbook g4 500 more speede than Linux on my new Athlon 64 bits notebook. I have at home: 2 Netwinders Linux 1 Athlon 1400 server with 2 GB FreeBSD 1 Athlon 64 3200 Linux 1 Stylust running WinXP Tablet edition 1 IBM ThinPad 770X Linux 1 IBM Thinkpad PC110 Linux 1 Sony VAIO SRX51 Linux 1 ACER 1502 Linux 64 1 Powerbook Ti 500 OS X The only one that run with out problem as desktop the last one. I try to use Linux on several notebook, but all have a lack of.... drivers, ACPI, Graphics, Problems... If you want to use suspend to ram, perfect battery management and all this stuff. But if you want to wait sine die for the perfect linux system. The problem of SuSE is Linux kernel, the kernel is not ready for the desktop, still need two years. I read the same from a Linux guru 2 years ago. I like GNU/Linux, but if the Big HW nanufacturer did not start to provide the right support to the kernel, we can not get the best on our desktops.

Michel, There was a thread earlier this month regarding the speedtouch modem. It does work, it just needs setting up correctly. Like you my perception of 9.1 is v.good, I have it installed on both a desktop and a laptop. The only issue I had was the modem, but as I said it is sorted now. Steve

Yes I did read this thread, but succeed only in user mode which is not the SuSE one. It was an opportunity to change !!
