10.2 Alpha seems to work -- gave up on 10.1


I'm using (Happily) 10.0 on production machine. I tried 10.1 on a laptop and another desktop --but gave up - I didn't have time to mess around too much and the horrors with YAST were too much.

However I've downloaded the alpha 10.2 and it actually installed correctly on BOTH computers --detected all the hardware and RAN --OK I haven't tried DVD playing yet but that's not a horrendous issue.

I don't recommend using an alpha for serious work --but so far it looks STREETS ahead of 10.1 --maybe SUSE / Novell learned from their 10.1 fiasco.

Incidentally to me SUSE 9.2 and 10.0 were both as stable as a rock -- I've learned with SUSE to avoid like the plgue any .X release where.X is an odd number. (9.3 was also rubbish as far as I could remember compared with 9.2).

I'll try firing up VMWARE on 10.2 and see if I can bring up a Windows XP guest.

10.2 looks as if things might be finally going OK at last.

Please however release a DVD ISO for download --I'm sick of copying CD images and then having to make a DVD out of 5 or 6 CD ISO's.

Cheers

I learned after a couple of releases the same thing!

I don't bother with the odd releases because there is always something flawed with them.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one.

10.2 has it's bugs, but of course it'll seem better out of the bag because it has all yast updates installed :P

Also, for VMWARE I am sure you will need the any-any patch
