i've also used SUSE for several revs and had generally excellent experiences with it. load time for desktop/laptop computers were never great and YAST was also slow. this was made up for by the fact that it was solidly integrated, package updates always went off without a hitch and there were lots of packages available. it generally "just worked" better than the rest, and once it was up and running was usually faster than most of the competition as well. 10.0 was a bit of a disaster for me. i had a few installations do unexpected and unhappy things, ranging from hardware set up problems to server setup issues to installation sources not working. there were more bugs than i was used to in a SUSE release, but it -was- a "dot-oh" release and everyone's allowed a "screwed the pooch" moment from time to time in my books. it'll be interesting to see if 10.1 does any better on the stability and integration front. i'm attempting to grab the ISOs via bittorrent and will see how it goes ... -- Aaron J.
