Things I do not like about SuSE so far, please help
 
  • MP3 sound is not supported, only with Amaarok, either with Xine or Realplay
    With artds or gstreamer it doesn't works
  • Today I was working with OpenOffice 2.0 and it took like 2-3 minutes to load (I have an AMD 64 3500 processor and 1 GB of RAM). Apart from that OO crashes when I want to save a document in Microsoft Office format
  • When I insert a flash drive, I cannot unmount it. All I receive is "/media/usbdisk" is not in /etc/fstab, and you are not root". So I have to go to the console and umount it
  • I tried playing MPEG and WMA files and they don't play
  • I have no idea how can I tell the system not to delete the RPMs that are downloaded via YOU or Yast (lot's of software downloaded already)
  • KDE doesn't seems that stable, kicker (as well as in Ubuntu) usually displays an error when I logoff

Don't get me wrong, but as much as I love the look and functionallity of SuSE, I don't understand that OS as well as I do with Ubuntu. I started using SuSE because it seemed more stable and I wanted KDE and Gnome to work together (ex: use Klipper and Amarok in Gnome...)

However what I found so far is a distro that (as much as I respect it), has somehow the same problems that Ubuntu, with the difference than in Ubuntu, by following the Ubuntuguide.org, I was able to play MP3 and videos in minutes. The mounting in SuSE is definitively better (the hardware tool that is in the taskbar), but I don't like it if I need to manually umount my LifeDrive and my usbdisk.

I'll appreciate any feedback and suggestions

First I tested WinXP 64-bit and was by far the worst 64-bit OS I've tried so far, very unstable, applications don't work ok, it's a mixture between 32-bit and 64-bit that just doesn't works as good as Windows XP

I decided to try SuSE OSS 64-bit and later I want to try Ubuntu 64-bit, however the main problem in those distros is that kicker displays errors when I logoff, therefore I cannot leave my PC on and expect it to shutdown automatically after it downloads software or syncs with my server
