SuSe is a great distro, but I have always had just one problem with it... it runs so very slow on every machine I have ever installed it on, especially YaST. I have played around with kernel configurations and everything, and it's just never been quick enough. Does it still take a while for YaST to respond, or was that just me?
Every few years though, I pick it up and give it another try. Right now I am in the middle of a dist-upgrade on my laptop, which will probably break things more. Hibernate already stopped working in Ubuntu on that machine (out of nowhere really... no new packages installed or anything; I think the machine is dying on me... stupid Dell). I should also disclose that give enough time, I will break all installations, of every operating system, ever, and unintentionally even, which is why I stay away from IT work now. --mat On 10/19/07, Andrew Baudouin <andrewmb at gmail.com> wrote: > > I've broken many a system with dist-upgrade (and emerge -U world), > especially if non-standard packages are installed, I'm talking kernel panic > broken.
