Great to hear a succes story between all these reports about problems with SuSE 9.1.
Did you do a NTFS partition resize using YaST during installaton? There has been reported problems with it and it is holding my back from installing 9.1.
That's a problem if you rely on the list for info about how good or bad a SUSE release is. No one complains when it works - but the list is a help list, so the people having problems will be posting the problems... I've installed 9.1 on a Centrino laptop, an old Gateway laptop with a Celeron 500MHz processor, and a couple desktop PCs with AMD athlons and had zero problems. All machines are set up to dual boot to various versions of Windows. Each and every time it's installed smoothly (as a clean install, not an upgrade), and worked perfectly. It's faster than 9.0 on virtually every task, and hasn't crashed once on any of the machines. In fact on the Centrino laptop, it works better than Windows or SUSE9.0. I get better battery lifetime, and things like the video work great. OK, I wish the WIFI would work, but that's a driver issue, not a SUSE9.1 issue. c
