Hi Michael,

  I have unsubscribed from "Bug 134325". Please void my Registered Account 
with Bugzilla. I have loaded openSuSE by Novell. I am blown away by how well 
everything works and how my U.S.B. DVD-Burner, ATA DVD-ROM, and CD-ROM all 
have individual mount-points and no longer get confused by the system. In 
fact, all my U.S.B. devices have their own individual mount-point. Kubuntu 
used the same mount-point for all U.S.B. devices and the same mount-point for 
all ROM device regardless of how they were attached to the system. This 
caused software to say that the device was not found. Not so in openSuSE!

  Software does things openSuSE it did not do in Kubutnu, and this is a very 
positive and well received action. I also have functionality in OpenOffice 
retruned that was missing in Kubuntu.

  openSuSE also recognizes I have Gig of Physical R.A.M. and puts the Swap 
partition on a R.A.M.Drive and returns 3.29GB of unused space that was 
allocated in Kubuntu. It feels as though I have installed a new C.P.U. at 
twice the speed and yet!, I have not. Still running at 1.8GHz.

  I truly believe that openSuSE benefits from a much longer release cycle that 
Kubuntu could benefit from also. 6 months is way to fast! Kubuntu seems 
sloppy especially after loading openSuSE. My advise, slow down, nail it big 
time, and appreciate a fast growing audience.

  All my hardware runs really well. I have been able to install the nVidia 
drivers from their Web-Site with very little effort or knowledge. I now enjoy 
OpenGL like I was never able to in Kubuntu.

  I hope the future holds that you win me back but, the sour taste in my mouth 
from my recent 8 hour upgrade that failed big time, is an experience that 
will keep me away for some time to come. You can only guess which 
distribution of Linux I will recommend to people when they ask. It will not 
be anything in the Ubuntu family.


John
