Folks,

I just download and installed in my Sony Vaio FZ180 OpenSuse 10.3 RC1, and so far so good. My Sony has the new Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT, and found and configured it on the fly, the same with the Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN WiFi card, all configured on the fly. No fuzz no mess! Two pieces of hardware very important to me for obvious reason. This is very promising! I can see that that I have more control of the settings and hardware. For example, the WiFi setting are much more informative and easy to configure. This is very important to me because I am very interested in the WiFi due to its flexibility. The only limitation, and I hope will be fixed in the final release, is the LED indicator for the WiFi card is off, but it works without downloading and configuring anything which is more important any way.
I may update this post later, so far I have not seen all that OpenSuse has to offer. Stay tuned!

In the mean time, enjoy the open source effort of all those programmers around the globe! Many thanks to them all.

Thumbs up
I just dl SuSE 10.3RC1 some days ago. It is great. Works like charm, even wireless rt2500pci is connecting without any modifications (no need to dl and reinstall the driver), skype is installed automatically with YAST, so until now I think that there are no bugs so far. repos , packman and others are installed during the setup, so it really is perfect.
The only problem I have is setup the laser printer EPL-6200L. But that was a problem since 10.1 on and still is.

I will try 10.3 when it is released on ftp. In the meantime, I would like to know if anyone has tried high resolution in KDE with intel 945g. In version 10.2 I can't get more resolution than 1024x768:

I hope this is fixed in version 10.3.
