Here’s what it responded, right after a reboot: So I rebooted the machine, told the crappy update-manager icon to not load on start-up and to be sure it was gone just did the following in my box: I had zmd eating CPU like crazy and I couldn’t kill it no matter what I did. After watching my computer come to a crawl I decided to investigate. Some packages do not install, other do some of the time and most of the time, things that used to take seconds now take minutes while zmd eats away at your CPU. Suse 10 and all previous versions work just fine, but management, induced by the Ximian guys, made a political decision to include zmd. I love Suse and I use it all the time, both at home and professionally, but Suse has screwed up what could have been a killer package.

Software installation in Suse 10.1 just plain sucks. SuSE have always had more class than that and Novell would be mad to squander it. I just hope they keep up the good work and their good rep and don’t become a buggy community distro like a certain piece of headgear.

If you don’t need a full-up, multi-CD Windows replacement, then I guess Ubuntu is the obvious alternative, but it you want the Full Monty on a silver platter SuSE is very hard to beat, imho. It is a quality product offering the best in KDE, and it gives me everything I could want and then some. Otherwise, it has been plain sailing and a pretty easy installation.Īside from these small things, I really like SuSE for the reasons I always have done. In addition, you need to know your way around adding extra repositories for non-oss or restricted downloads, which I guess a new user might find a pain. Revises will be issued in the next few weeks apparently.

Sax2 seems to be causing problems for some folks, I haven’t yet got wifi running and the new Rug-Zen package manager is still in development and pretty wonky. It does use quite a chunk of ram, though, but there is plenty to spare. The speed issues seem to have been laid to rest in 10.1 which flies on my PC and is as fast as Debian. I’ve used every version of SuSE since 7.3 but by around 9.1 the whole thing had become so slow that I started to use Debian as my main distro with SuSE as a back-up.
