"Novell's SLED 10 is a decent business desktop operating system as-is. However, it does not appropriately meet the needs of a large portion of business professionals. This guide will show you how to install or upgrade the Java Development Kit, install software from the SUSE Linux 10.1 package repositories, and enable DVD movie playback in SLED 10." Note: I also used the Pacman repositories weeks ago to install the non-free packages; it seems to have not affected stability.

Oh, there are alot of problems. let me tell you about one program that installed from source on all machines with any linux distro except SLED, this application is called yahoo messenger. Tons of missing dependancy packages; and to make it worse they didn't include a button to choose all packages from their DVD during the installation which leave you confused to search for them online or to search for them on the installation DVD. Another funny problem, if an enterprise customer likes konqueror and wants to run it would ask him for root password!!! Ask the system administrators for that.

Sounds like your complaining about "YaST issues" that were seen in the first final release of 10.1, which were then fixed with updates, and the updates have been applied within SLED 10.
If this isn't the case then what is your problem? What DE are you running?
But yeah, bet it's the obvious that has been talked about since day one of the 10.1 release.

OpenSuse 10.1 was problematic, so I started waiting for SLED, but as far as I here there are still problems.
