I have used SUSE 9.0 too and happily switched to Fedora Core 1. First thought the ftp install of suse was a pain, and upgrading or adding packages seemed to be nearly impossible (for me at least). I have tried to upgrade my SUSE 9.0 installation to GNOME 2.4.0.. i tried, but i couldnt get it to work. As i used linux on the desktop and not primarily as a server i wanted to play DVD, also no luck here. Now i am running Fedora Core 1, have installed DVD and MP3 support, and i must say i am quite happy with it. Stability so far is great. PS. I wish everyone a very happy and good 2004!!
