Here's a review of SuSE 9.3: "Right now I'm looking at a SuSE 9.3 installation which offers me everything I'm used to plus more. It's hard to say if and when I'll switch, but it sure looks tempting. In more than one way SuSE feels so much better than Ubuntu, and it's hard to resist all the small details and finishes Novell put into the product."

"But other's have, it's all in their bug tracking systems."
That's true, but I find it odd that it always happens to me with SuSE. I realize that there's a possibility of it happening using any distro, but it just seems a little odd for it to always occur with SuSE. I guess it wouldn't matter much if I planned to use only SuSE.

Never had that problem with 9.1 or 9.2. I always have problems with updates breaking things. After a fresh install and adding all the recommended updates, there is only a 50 50 chance that my box will boot.
I am really looking for something to switch to, not an endlessly configurable hobbyist distro, but an out of the box workstation/desktop solution.

Previous versions of SuSE ALWAYS trashed my MBR if I installed the bootloader to it. Is this still an issue with 9.3? I believe the last time I tried SuSE was when 9 or 9.1 was released. I never encountered that problem with other distros (Mandrake, Ubuntu, Mepis, Red Hat, Slackware, and Libranet).
And as many have noted, once you start upgrading packages, SuSE has a tendency to become unstable, but that was using past versions (7 and 8). I would be curious to see how well SuSE handles upgrades when 10 is released.
