SuSE, openSUSE If there are two things in this apartment that I don't like, that would first be the dog upstairs which barks at 5 AM almost every morning, and the fact that UPS almost never deliver things on our door. They never bother to check if we are in. The SuSE people were very kind to send us the Professional version of SuSE 8.1, but unfortunately, I received it 10 days later after it arrived in the apartment's complex. But now we got it here, we gave it a spin for almost a week, and here is what we think about it.

Drivers round 3

Hi Eugenia!

Great overvrew/1st look. So, SUSE is crashing but [it's okay since] you know the NVidia drivers are causing the problem. That's why drivers should be opensource.

(tongue in cheek): Perhaps SUSE, RedHat and Mandrake should re-engineer the kernel around NVidia cards since "its not a CMI soundcard, its the most widely used videocard in the world..." Or maybe Gentoo/RedHat/SUSE/Mandrake/Debian should partner with NVidia?

Before anyone suggests it: no, ATI does NOT solve the problem because they don't release full specs for their cards.
