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.

Summary of my experience with Suse 9.2 on my Centrino Pentium-M laptop:
(-)Wireless works about half the time
(-)Powerdown does not work (it reboots on shutdown)
(-)Hibernation does not work
(-)No XOrg ATI drivers and no option to use XFree
(+)Best hardware management tool (Yast) I've ever tried
(+)Best KDE integeration I've ever tried
As a whole, I am rather dissapointed because I expected the above not to be of issue after reading the initial reviews. I expected Suse 9.2 to be a notch above the others but it is not IMHO.
