I agree with that. 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!!

Best regards,
