Hi,
I received my SuSE 10.1 Box yesterday through DHL. Removed the previous SuSE 10.0 installation ( after data backup ) and installed 10.1 with XFS this time. The installation went very smoothly and significantly faster than 10.0. The bugs in 10.0 that annoyed me are all gone now. Kde 3.5 is very responsive. I tried XGL but not so quick on my Intel 910GL graphics chipset. The new NetworkManager was buggy and so I moved to the traditional ifup. Thanks for SuSE team for giving this option in configurations. XEN worked pretty neatly also though I don't use it. I downloaded libdvdcss and w32codecs and the xine now plays encrypted DVD's and mp3. I choose xine engine for amarok and it plays mp3 beautiful. I could read my iPod using ipod:/ kio_slave but amarok doesn't play directly from iPod, instead i have to copy them to local folder and run them. I haven't yet checked the rest, but so far damn impressive.

What's the boot up time like compared to 10? I've heard it averages out at twice as long to boot 10.1 This came from a Magazine comparison that I read. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.
