Anyway, as I said, I'll probably tinker with 9.1 on my spare partition,
waiting to see if Suse get their act together and/or the Linux community fix
the 2.6 kernel's many bugs. The next distro I want to play with is Mandrake
10, or rather 10.1 or 10.2.

Mandrake, a French distro, seems like it might be a better piece of software
at the moment. I've been monitoring the alt.os.linux.mandrake group and they
seem most satisfied with the distro, although some of the same bugs are
apparent there too.

Anyone had experience of this new distro and can do a comparison?

[btw, I like this Mandrake theme, wonder if can be used on Suse?
