Suse 9.1 Personal

Anyone have experience with Suse 9.1 Personal? My buddy installed it on his laptop fine but when I tried it got to the very end and said there were problems with all the packages. Guess I will stick to Fedora core 2. :)

Unless someone here thinks Suse is so much better......

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

If you have a working Fedora install, by all means continue using that.

IMHO SuSE is much more bug free and finished product than Fedora. I wouldn't recommend Fedora to anyone intending to use it as a production environment (even tho I use it on my work desktop myself (just can't be bothered to start over with some other install)).

Can't comment on your installation error if you are so vague.

I have always liked Suse better myself so I might just work on this. The error itself was very vague, the install literally ran for 40 minutes and looked like it worked but once it got to 100% it popped up an error stating that "some packages had errors" and when I scrolled down the list it was probably every package it tried to install.

That would probably be one package all the rest depend on - the kernel possibly, or the filesystem layout package (if anyone still does that), or something like X11.

Get a new burn of the discs or buy Professional. SuSE is one of the few distros of Linux I can actually use without getting seriously infuriated at it.

You can also use the FTP install. It has no help available and is a bit tricky to get working tho but you don't get any broken packages. Plus the FTP version is (almost) the equivalent of Pro version.
