I wonder if you have had a chance to play with "Open SuSE 10.3" yet.

I have put it on a couple of clients machines.  Its very impressive.  
I'm in the process of backing up my machine at the moment, but come 
Monday I will have it on mine.

It has come on in leaps since V10.0 and seems to have gotten rid of 
all the nasty bugs of 10.1 and 10.2.
