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.

Yes, I have a USB hard drive (got a kit to convert an internal to an external). SUSE wanted to install there, so unplugged till dual boot installed. I have a smartcard reader, Lexar 128 Mbyte thumb drive, 2 USB cameras, and as mentioned, a USB sound card because the Dell has no line in or line out. Everything is hotplugged and simply works. As I mentioned, the mouse gets a little jerky for 3 to 5 seconds when they are plugged in, however, Konqueror opens automatically for each device (well, the drive types). Oh yeah, USB keyboard and USB mouse with wheel. All simply worked. The cool thing too, the aliases to the USB devices are persistant even when they are unplugged during boot or whichever order they are detected. Undocked, they keypad is active, simply plug in the USB micromouse and it just works immediatly.
I got the sound card after installed, had the SD reader and thumbdrive there during install, but I doubt it matters.
