Wow... beta 4 sucks pretty bad. 10 attempts of various kinds to install. Not one made it in past drive format...where they all failed, no matter which settings I used. Beta 4 is more like... I dunno, worthless development build pre-alpha. Though it could be 64bit on SATA only. But it is far from a late beta.

Maybe you now understand what I was trying to say.
It still sounds weird to implement new stuff at the end of test period. Development releases are development releases, but this little thing is something else. Its quite hard to start real testing, if you can't even install it on hd.
BTW, because of the major bugs, another extra beta has been added to the roadmap and an entry for RC has been removed.
Well that pushes this fairly squarely into April now, then doesn't it? At least given all likelihood.
And I know what you meant, I didn't know the installer they were talking about was this one, I thought for sure they would leave the install disc one alone, and just upgrade YAST. Apparently not. Very odd stage to go this far. And there there is the xgl and compiz, which I hear is actually quite stable, aside from not currently working with ATI and Matrox cards... Ho...boy.
Not that I feel upgrades shouldn't be done, but... most of this should never have come out of internal testing at this stage. They really should drop the installer for now and just release it with 10.2 in like September/November, after proper development and testing.
I have no idea what will happen to KOTD in the future, but with suse 10.1. they have decided to drop all non-GPL kernel modules, so it isn't going to be a easy update.
I just installed my notebook with SUSE 10.0, works fine, very happy!
I have been using suse 10 on laptop and also on old PII as LAMP-server without problems.
It maybe isn't as fast as the competitors but it is very stable and everything has been working without any pain.
Recent Suse 10.1. beta4 on the other hand is something completely different.
After many big changes in last weeks, I will probably wait for summer before installing 10.1 or maybe even leave it alone and update with Suse 10.2. alphas.
