    Tried it at work. Not bad, but I was very disappointed by the range of packages available in yast. People criticize Fedora for not having as many pakcages as Debian, but for me, it's got enough to satisfy my needs. SUSE doesn't...

    • Its because the package selection is screwed up, and has been for ages. After you select a package group, go into the individual selections, and you'll see that most of the individual package items aren't selected. You should be able to load at least 7 gigs of software (at least that's what I did with 10.2 and the 10.3 alpha).

          However, it looks like 10.3 will be a lot better (I'll probably have to spring for YAHD - yet another hard dis

  • I've tried installing on Compaq EVO desktop and a Dell D610 laptop. On both I have serious display issues. The Compaq couldn't even start an X session, the Dell starts it, but the display is really funky, kind of shrunk to 1/4 of the screen and duplicated in each quadrant, it also seems to lock up after a minute. Any help is appreciated.
