Yeah, the 10.x series definitely had issues. Suse 11.0 has optimized Yast so that it's very fast. Suse also has 1-click install on their web page so you can search for a package and just click Install. If you add the Packman and Non-Oss repos you get all the latest packages through Yast. The hardware setup and compatibility is really good. I now have it on every computer and laptop in my house and It's running great.
My only beef is Kde 4. Still too many annoyances and instabilities. I'm sticking with 3.5.9 for now.
