Initially had some problems. But now I am quite comfortable with SuSe 10.1

Most of the bugs in Suse 10.1 seem to have been ironed out. If you try SLES 10 beta versions, package management works just fine and is not slow. I have not yet tried wireless, but hopefully with the introduction of more native wireless drivers in the 2.6.17.x kernel, things will improve.

Because I think he'd rather be a troll. I don't know why more people that have had major issues with Suse just don't step back to version 10.0. I tried to upgrade 3 machines to 10.1 and having failed all of them, rolled all back to 10.0. Seriously what does 10.1 offer over 10? All the new features are eye candy or seriously buggy.

I still have one system running both 10.0 and 10.1 but the 10.1 system is still slow and buggy. I'll wait untill 10.2 comes out.

I've heard people complain about problems even with 10.0 but I'm running 3 systems with it and none have a lick of problems.

i have run 10.0 and am now on 10.1,
to me 10.1 has many great fetures and could be the makings of a really great OS for people who dont feel like editing everything manuaally every day...

but they have tried to impliment this new zen uipdater thingimy

it caused no end of trouble! it causes YAST to run like a snail and uses too much RAM

why did they move away from teh pure YAST system that worked fine for mew with 10.0,

if is aint broke dont fix it!

Alright, it is slow in coming, as I am not usually one to give up easily. But, I will certainly step back a version and go with 10.0. Can anyone presently using 10.0 check the supported printers list and see if it supports HP PSC 1510 all-in-one? This is my primary concern as it is needed for my business.
What is a troll? Other than the story book definition. I complain because I purchased this product. When I pay for something, I expect it to work. Period. If it was so problematic, it simply should not have been released. If I wanted to lose money and time by gambling, I would go to a casino.

When you buy a Linux distro without testing it first you are already gambling. There are so many hardware configurations out there, so before you spend your cash, try the distro first to see if it works for you. Even Windows does not work on all hardware configurations although people will have paid good money for it.

Suse has the driver but not the ppd file for that printer.

You can get the PPD file for the printer here:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_pr...um=HP-PSC_1510

When you install the printer in yast there is a button about two pages into the wizard that is labeled add PPD file. Add the file and presto you have a driver for it.

It might even help with your system NOW in 10.1

Well, no doubt they're shipping all the Linux code to India...

But I can say without any sarcasm that SuSE's peak was 9.3... I went from it to 10.1 after griping with Novell on a quality issue they tried to pin on me (sheesh, don't they know how to read?)

I had moved to Fedora 4, but ran into problems with F-5... mostly video and I was too early an adopter for my own good. But there've been some really DUMB problems with 10.1 (floppy drive, issues with Win4lin, others...) that are compelling me to go back to FC5.

Or Ubuntu. I did ditch FC5 because it ultimately took forever to get patches downloaded...

I've installed and tested both 32 and 64-bit versions of 10.0 and 10.1 on my AMD 64 3500 pc, and each time I come across something that makes me go back to 9.3. With 10 and 10.1, the fonts keep getting smaller and smaller, and when opening documents in OpenOffice they are unreadable. Yes, I've installed the MS fonts with Yast in 10.0, and installed the MS fonts using an .rpm file with ver 10.1, and even tried using my Win XP fonts, with no improvement at all. Yesterday I re-installed the 64-bit version of 9.3 and will stay here, at least until 10.2 comes out. The fonts are the best I've ever seen, even better than XP. Everything works right out of the box with 9.3.

Don't get your panties all in a bunch! I'm sure the kinks will get ironed out in future releases. If you have a problem with 10.1, why don't you revert back to a previous version or give a different distro a try? Nothing is perfect. Novell is trying out new things... of course some of them are not going to work out.
I'm a newbie. I've had a few problems, but I've actually tried to keep my cool and search the Internet for info on how to solve 'em.
People who want things to ''magically'' work need to wake up....

I understand your wanting to keep your cool. Not always easy. In fact, I have been an engineer for over twenty years. I can tell you in all honesty that I have NEVER released a product that does not work. Wake up?

Prior to purchasing this software, I read a half a dozen reviews. All of them stated that this software was the very finest available. The software is advertised and sold as an alpha release. I purchased it as an alpha release. Sure, some problems will always creep up somewhere due to hardware variations. But, that is not the case here. Everything about this software has been buggy. If a company wants me to use experimental software, then they need to advertise it as such, sell it as such and ask me for my permission before using my company computer as their test bed. I am sorry, but I do not subscribe to the point of view that they are experimenting with new software. That is not a professional excuse. Look around online? I started this thread because I have been all over the web looking for solutions and have found absolutely "0" solutions. That is my beef. I don't mean to be a horses anal sphincter about this, but being a professional of over twenty years, I find experimentation at the consumers expense to be poor business practice. Don't you?

I can't go back to earlier releases, as my office equipment is new and is not supported by earlier releases. That is why I upgraded, to keep up with my hardware.

You mentioned that you need it for business.
If that is the case, might I suggest to get an expirienced Linux User to install it for you?
Remember Windows?
If you had no expirience with it, you had very little hope of getting it up and running properly either.
The amount of friends/family where I have or am installing/mantaining Windows for is close to 100% unless that person is expirienced in it.
I can tell you that the 1510 Printer works fine with version 10.1 as I have the same Printer.

what the h--- do you think "alpha software" means?
