I thought that I would include a few thoughts on the Suse 10.1 struggle
The thing is that if this obviously fataly flawed zen and friends were
killed off (as in my opinion they should be) and it went back to the Yast YOU
system we would not be having all these problems .

I am now seroiusley looking for another distro to switch to as suse is going
down the pan big style i have purchased every release from 5.3 onwards i
doubt i will buy one again Gnome sucks big time and should be a supplemental
installation SuSe is/was/and should remain an KDE centric distro Novell's
move into SuSe has seriousley damaged what was a good reliable product
whats more the Novelle website is absolutley disgusting about as user
friendley as a Black Mamba with it's knickers on upside down .

10.1 is a total no no far too many problems people moaned like hell about
9.2 well this box is running 9.2 is abslutley rock solid i havd 10.0 on a
spare 32bit box it kept locking up switched back to 9.2 bingo solid again

Wake up Novell get your act together CAN gnome out of the main distro if you
must support it then on an suplemental CD yes on the main distro NO.

Pete very nearley an EX suse user unless the next release is a MAJOR
improvment on 10.1


I too got down about SUSE thats why I've been happily running Fedora Core 4. I gave up on FC 5, its too new, the only bug I've found with FC4 are the updates where SUSE kicks FC's *** when it comes to the updates.

Gnome, ya, that I run, and ya, it has its quarks, its slow responses, but who logs in to the console if your running server in gui mode anyway? I might as well run it in the right init level so its console based to save my self more resources.

SUSE 10.0 is a great distro, I wouldn't give up on it completely if it works for ya, but still, I feel ya.
