On October 22, 2004, Novell released SUSE Linux Professional 9.2 (abbreviated as SLP9.2 henceforth) targeted at the home user and Linux enthusiast crowd. Since I am already using SUSE 9.1 for my daily work on my IBM laptop, I was quite eager to check out 9.2. SLP9.1 is already a very polished Linux distribution, with tons of software ready to go. So here's a SuSE user's review of 9.2 after several weeks using the new version.
Update: Also see some 9.2 screenshots with
KDE and
Gnome.
I installed Suse 9.2 and it fired my laptop. After installing it I left my computer on and went to bed. When I woke the morning my laptop was dead. I suspect the lack of support for ACPI and APM caused my computer to run too hot.
I learned my lesson. I will never install Linux or BSD or any other *nix on a laptop. NEVER! It simply isn't ready for general laptop use. Plus wireless support is terrible. On Windows it's point-click-and-done!
