How strange, but maybe not. Suse 10.0 and 10.1 were a bit flaky. Try
10.3, it is real nice IME. Handles my A64-X2 dual core nicely and is
very clean. Radeon X2600 and 22 inch 19:10 flat panel as well.
10/100/1000 Ethernet, high d 7.2 sound on MOBO. Getting XP running
was ten times the hassle, mostly over sound.

I tried Suse for a couple of months.
It was hellish.
If I ever give Linux another go it will probably be with Ubuntu.

As I indicated a while back, I found Ubuntu to be totally unusable
(i/e uninstallable). The display was unreadable (~.001pt fonts).

Which release?

Dunno, everything is packed (moving this weekend, all the stuff in a
couple of weeks). It's fairly recent because I've only been here
nine months. Before that I was attempting to get SuSE working
satisfactorily.
