I left openSUSE 3 years ago, and for good reason, it sucked. It was buggy, bloated, slow, and horribly unfriendly to use. So let's skip ahead 3 years to the present, openSUSE 11.0 is out and I'm ready to forgive past mistakes and give them another shot.

To be quite honest, as soon as I put in the DVD and saw the boot screen I knew something was different, it had the same old SUSE green but it had a fresh feel to it. This wasn't going to be the same SUSE that made my tear my hair out in frustration 3 years ago, so I quicly decided to come into this review with an open mind and a fresh pair of eyes.

After a not-so-unexpectedly long boot into the extremely pretty DVD installer, I got to work following through the oodly familiar install process (it's been 3 years, you'd think I could have forgotten about SUSE by now). Oddly enough there was an EULA(?) to accept, it appeard to be a standard trademark/copyright protection deal so I agreed to it and moved on with the install.

Rest Here
