After using openSUSE 10.3 for several weeks, I finally blew it away in favor of Fedora 8. It was a tough decision, as I did like openSUSE, but had some really strange issues with it, that quite frankly were show stoppers for me.
- After the first update using "yast --update". I could never get it to work again without crashing. It would show me a ton of packages to update, then would crash when starting it.
- Yast2 would always only show me one available update, although yast would show me several.
- Never got the "Illegal Instruction" problem when running Qtractor fixed.
- Was never able to get the proprietary Nvidia drivers to work without GLX problems.
Oh well, we'll see how F8 works. I might even blow that away in favor of something else eventually.
