So I reinstalled SuSE 9.3 on my laptop today. I am hoping I can be a bit more patient this time with it and get things working well on it. My problem has always been that I want the bleeding edge. This time I will just say no. I will need to get some current mono packages and the like going but I believe I can do that relatively easily. Apart from that, I am just holding my breath that my wireless will be kind this time. I must say, that the last time I had 9.3 and tried it on a relatively open network, I had tried to update my gnome packages. I think this was a mistake in hindsight (of course I have no idea really). Either way, I am trying to let SuSE grow on me. Lets just hope it doesn't grow into some puss filled weirdness that requires surgery... Yeah that is just a joke btw.

On the upside, I am trying out apt with SuSE which makes me feel much better already. I don't know if I am breaking things but it seems that apt knows about yast and the like so that is one good thing. I think it also uses the yast sources so that is another plus.
