Well, actually SP1 has quite a few visible bugs and I'm wondering if their Q.A. dpt. fell asleep at some point.
For instance, if you move the GNOME panel to the top of the screen, when you logout/shutdown you'll notice that a new panel is displayed on top of the original one.
Issue #2, if you use synaptics to disable the freaking awful "tap to click" you'll lose the ability to move the mouse pointer a few seconds after.
Issue #3, in most laptops that sport an Intel video card (e.g. 855) when booting back from sleep (suspend to RAM) 8 out of 10 times the screen is corrupted and the only way to fix is to _actually_ reboot the computer.
Issue #4, you're lucky if you can get dual screen working. I reckon at Utah time must have stopped because this is simply unacceptable at this day and age.
Issue #5, in Evolution if you receive an email encoded in Latin1 (bear in mind that the default encoding in SLED is utf8) and it has accented characters, those characters won't be displayed which, more often than not, renders the email useless.
Issue #6, no freaking SD reader support!
Before you ask, no, I'm not _that_ technically inclined. I'm a sales person. I only found these issues because I was recruited as a guinea-pig for SLED evaluation and I ran into them only 1 day after installing the bloody thing. How come this kind of stuff gets past a software company Q.A. department?!
