I want to install Suse-10.1, for a new Linux user in my family, but
is 10.1 stable enough?
Or is 10.0 a better Ideal?
I'am mainly a Fedora user but I know Suse is a more friendly user
than Fedora is, unless
you can figure how to install new apps from the internet in Suse,
this is where Fedora has it over Suse.

Jim,
I don't know that I would saddle a new user with 10.1 just yet. If SuSE
will supply a new CD ISO that includes the updater fixes, then I might
reconsider. There are other problems too, but of course, the updater
has gotten more chatter. That's not to say 10.1 is bad, far from it,
but with the problems present in the opensuse downloads, if that is
what you got or the boxed set of CDs, I wouldn't want a new user to
experience that. Again, if SuSE will supply us a new ISO of the CD
with the fixed files, then your install will go smoothly and updating
should be much better.
I've been installing new apps from the internet for a long time with
SuSE. I don't think this idea is exclusive with Red Hat. ;o)
regards,
Lee

Thanks for the input, I agree about installing apps in Suse, I can get a
lot of RH RPMS and install on Suse
but a lot of times you run into the dreaded dependceny problems.
What I was refering to was to Suse doesn't give mirrors to download
from, in the install of Suse.
You have to go retrieve the mirrors and set them up in Yast and I as a
Linux user have problems with doing that.
I guess over time I will learn.
Does Smart package app. make it any easier in Suse?
