I am a long time user of Suse Linux , I use it for work and on my home computers, however the present version 11, is a bit disappointing.
I’ve got rid of 10.3 on my laptop (Dell inspiron 1525) in favor of 11.0 but I couldn’t manage to install it ! I have long experience
in istalling OS (not only linux), but no way. After all the installation process the screen is black and there is not way to repair it.
I have tried with runlevel 3, using yast2 but as soon as I try to change the graphics card/ monitor , yast2 crashes.
Could it be the selection of KDE4.0 instead of 3.5 ? It is a bit strange though, I have 10.3 with kde4 running virtual (with Parallel) on Vista, and I have no problems. I’ll wait for 11.1, and see if it is better, otherwise I have to change distribution.

Me again. For clarification: I am, in fact, a different Andrew than the person that has been posting above who’s name I share.

It is really a shame what has become of SuSE. It all started to fall apart beginning with 9.3. I wish we could have found out where SuSE would have ended up if left well enough alone. SuSE was never supposed to be based on Gnome, or have such tight intergration with Mono. I guess it could be argued that these things were SuSE’s destiny, as it has certainly come to pass. I understand that Novell wishes to maximize its investment in the Mono project, but it came at the cost of what used to be arguably the best of the best distributions.

I used to buy the boxed sets of new SuSE releases, but now I’ve just migrated my final machine–that had been running 8.2 for a very long time–away from SuSE. It’s a sad thing, but after 10.3 I’d had enough.

No, never to look back.

I have always loved Suse Linux or Open Suse however, version 11.0 made a great impression on me and worked fine on my laptop though could not get my wireless working. With Ubuntu 8.10 everything works straight out of the box without any fiddling. Windows XP professional got completely erased and unfortunately not Suse but Ubuntu is the main OS. And lets face it: Ubuntu is a great system and Mark Shuttleworth is one of the greatest among the Linux nerds. Shuttleworth is the best because he understands what is necessary to make a good distro in competition with the likes of Microsoft and Apple.

A user of Suse for many years but as I cannot get a useable installation disk for ver 11 I will be moving to another dist.

I am normally a KDE user but have SuSe 11 Gnome running and very well indeed. I doubt I’ll convert but it’s certainly not out of the question…it is easily the best Gnome desktop I have tried.

I also have SuSe 11 KDE4. It obviously is quite a distance away from being a stable desktop but SuSe do have a disclaimer somewhere on their download page I think, somewhere anyway, saying that KDE4 is experimental and should be for interested people and experts. Well I’m interested and will keep updating it and see how it progresses.
