Just a quick update on my experiences with OpenSUSE 11.0 thus far. It's buggy as hell.

First, I get update errors nearly everytime I boot the machine. For some reason, the OS isn't capable of recognizing all of the update sources on a boot, so I get an update error. I'm going to try to be patient and I'm just hoping that this is due to my Linux ignorance.

I've come to the conclusion that I need something to fill my spare time with. When I was teaching, it was reading. Now, I am fixated on computers and everything computer related. My newest toy is my iPhone. Two of my favorite features are the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These are two things I use quite regulary, Wi-Fi in coffee shops to stay in touch with the outside world and Bluetooth because I'm too lazy to hold my phone while I talk on it. It's also got the cool touch screen feature.

I'm contemplating a Linux switch. Don't get me wrong, Ubuntu is great, but I've heard much better things about OpenSuSe. The current version of OpenSuSe is 10.3, but 11.0 is set to be released very soon (see bottom-left of the page).

Why would I leave Ubuntu?
