Hello openSUSE
As I outlined in my last blog entry, there was a definite sense of urgency in migrating from Freespire 1.0 to something else. The distribution I settled on was openSUSE Linux 10.1--mostly in part from the fact that it was newly released this week, but also because I hadn't dabbled in SUSE products for a while and I wanted to see what was what.
Thus, my Tuesday night was spent migrating to openSUSE Linux 10.1. This was the "Remastered" edition, which the openSUSE team released in response to several bug fixes, not the least of which was a reportedly very buggy Software Update tool. I can't compare this version to the "Original" 10.1, but I have the sense that the outcome of this re-mix is a lot better than, say, the debacle of "New Coke" back in the 1980s.
The entire process took me about 4 hours, most of it tied up in disk checks and the actual package installation process.
