I received suse 6 today. My interest and fear revolves around applying 6 over a heavily customized 5.3 with lots of libs, software I have compiled, etc. Going from 5.0 to 5.3 involved some interesting moments with self-compiled libs. I had to recompile things like slrn for some reason since I got the version that suse shipped with and not the one I did. What happens specifically with things like corel wp8, applix office, etc? I use corel everyday as well as wabi and need these things to work after Im done. All in all, 6 looks like a well done product. Congratulations Suse folks!! I think I will do a second hard disk with suse 6 and SO on it for the meanwhile. Since I am getting a new laptop soon, I can have a second machine that can be experimented with. I would be quite interested in hearing from anyone who done the deed as far as upgrading from 5.3 to 6 and what happens with applix 4.4.1 and corel wp. Any takers on wabi? -- Michael E.
