[SLE] my 10.1 experience

well, i added a 10 gig drive to the 'puter and tried 10.1. since i only use
yast for updates, the update thing is not a show stopper. But when i tried to
use yast to install an rpm i had downloaded, it instead went out to an
installation source and installed an earlier version!!! also, tried to use a
source rpm to build a 64 bit w32 codec. the 64 bit rpm is built
in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86-64, however, after the install yast shows that
the installed version is a 32 bit. don't know if yast went to packman to pick
up the 32 bit version -had it added to the installation sources-, will check
on that later.
so far the only major difference for me between 10.1 and 10.0 is that cups
1.1.23-39 is marginally better than the 1.1.23-11 version installed in 10.0,
but still my hp7350 quits in the middle of printing jobs too often....without
any error messages in the logs....gosh i waste a lot of paper, how i wish i
can find a fix for that....
it really does seem that 10.1 was released just to break lcd's (can't get
1600x1200 on my 20" Dell, messing with frequencies did not work like it did
in 10.0), to make updates harder and to make vmware installation harder...
BTW, the firefox in 10.1 is only 32 bit, that's why flash works w. it. This
32/64 bit issue did not move forward at all.
all in all, nothing major in the new shtuff department and a couple of obvious
major bugs give too many the opportunity to badmouth Novel/suse. If i were
deep in the corporation, i would really look very closely at the marketeers
who pushed for early release of 10.1, it is difficult to imagine that it was
made without major resistance from the more conservative sector. Could they
be ms moles? This release could be construed as an attempt to disenchant the
low/mid level windows user who might want to give linucs a try...
