Hmmmmm.... I haven't really counted, but lots of KDE stuff, digikam,
xine, bluetooth, xcdroast, the latest kernels from kernel.org (2.6.13).
It's never crashed from 9.1 onwards with upgrades - blasted XP off it
and installed 9.1 via ftp, except the recent hard drive failure,
replaced it and did a fresh 9.3 install some weeks ago, it runs 24/7 ...
Acer 1501LCe laptop, XP3000+, Radeon 9600 Mobile, etc.
No problems with audio/video files, except for some audio skips, known
to affect laptops. It prints across the network, all the usual stuff.
No apps crashing/closing without my intervention.
Mozilla is fine, firefox (32-bit) is also OK, I don't use the SuSE
firefox because there are no 64-bit plugins available and firefox is my
primary browser, but my daughter uses mozilla or konqueror.
Rock Solid since day one! Just a couple of hardware problems, first was
the CD-RW/DVD which Acer support said was Linux, ha-ha-ha, writing to
and corrupting the BIOS, but I find that a good push on it fixes the bad
contact, then the hard drive failure.
Regards
Sid.
