Ofcourse, that's what I am doing. But I could also build linux from scratch then. The moment, Novell decides to drop "zmd rug zen-updater" from the default installation I can recommend this distro again. Why? Because my customers should NOT be dependent on me as person. So someone else with lesser linux know-how should be able to (re-)install SUSE Linux and get a well performing desktop system. Which is not the case with the current 10.1.
