These type of issues are the issues I was referring to with:

 "That inevitably leads to versions released before they are
ready, containing small, but crippling bugs that causes newbies to just give
up."

    Don't get me wrong, I remain a big fan of Suse. I can't through darts at
9.2 -- I haven't installed it -- yet. The original intent of my reply was
simply to raise awareness of problems I have seen following corporate
entrance into an open source project, and hoping upon hope that maybe
someone in Novell may take it to heart to avoid similar problems with Suse.
(please ignore the comma splice -- I couldn't resist)
