It would be nice if it ran a little faster, but even though it is slow, I have come to like Opensuse and Linux. I have almost a gigabyte of memory and it is sorely taxed by the system. Out of the 768MB of memory I usually have around 130 to 200MB free memory. This does cause me some concern, but again, I like the operating system and I wait for it to do its thing. I am in no hurry, so I wait.
I guess if I was in a heavy production environment I would look for a new Linux OS, but I like the security and the KDE desktop. I realize with a faster processor and more RAM I would probably see an improvement in I/O; and when I find the proper hardware to run Opensuse, I will build a system to handle over-taxation the OS causes. Until then I am happy to wait. As a newcomer to Linux, and I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu, I still like Opensuse the best even though it does run slow.
