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 began using Suse a month ago. I find it difficult, perhaps because of poor documentation. I have 4 problems: 1) My wireless card does not connect (although Suse detected and installed), 2)PDA does not connect, 3) I'm at a loss when I try to download, e.g. Gnucash, and 4) I've developed a problem with shutdown, and openoffice tells me I'm already accessing, so should leave the program. I plan to join a local forum or possibly a Vo-Tech class. Part of the problem, I think is Suse's flexibility. To make significant inroads, Linux will pretty much have to spoon feed everything. But I like it's look and "feel" of operation.
