Hey, was yours a fresh install?

There are success on the SuSE list but they are very few :(

I reckon this is where the problem is people upgrading rather than fresh 
installs, true I've seen some "I just did an install......" but reading the 
posts it sounds like some of them are as you say 'driver related' which 
probably means they'd of had the problems anyway regardless of release 
number.

Driver shipment is NOT what I am seeing most of. Generally the problems looks 
like it is bug, bug, bug. Which means poorly, badly downright rubbish coding 
if I was a betting man I'd say Novell never had a 10.1 release or not a 
viable one at any rate the evidence is stacking up that it was thrown 
together V. quickly and shoved out on the market just to keep the six month 
cycle.

I'm a big fan of SuSE but if I'd have installed it I would be on that list now 
screaming my head off my one concern now is 'What do I do?'  for me 10.1 has 
tainted my love of SuSE so will I install 10.2 or 11.0 for that matter I 
dunno?

Just keep one thing in mind SuSE die hards are not gonna slag it off openly on 
things like planetsuse I know the mailing list can be googled but its that 
list or forum that gives a true picture of the state of any distribution.
