It's kindof nice.  

But there's one really big problem:

It can't seem to handle data on other partitions reliably.

I tried to mount my old /home partition (ext3) and X refused to start except in the safety mode with nothing but one xterm.  Permissions were OK.  I could read and write to the parition, but X freaked out in every window manager except the ultra basic (which is no window manager) or when I logged in as root (which didn't require the use of /home).

I tried to play some of my ogg files stored on a FAT32 partition with XMMS.  XMMS couldn't handle it.  It crashed.  OGG123 could.

worker201:
What filesystem does SuSE use?  And are the FAT32 drivers loaded as modules (only added to the kernel when necessary, or built into the kernel?  Not that I could help you if you answered these questions, but this kind of stuff would be useful to know, since it might save someone else some hassle in the future.

H_TeXMeX_H:
Hmmm ... I dunno, I think FAT16 and FAT32 support should be standard, might wanna try another distro. Or maybe they have kernel modules for em.

There is in fact a module for FAT support.  I personally think it ought to be built into the kernel, since most people use it so much.  I was thinking maybe the modules weren't loading properly.

Are you using Gnome or KDE? I know suse 10.0 is geard toward KDE, but it runs ass loads faster with Gnome, while still keeping alot of functionality
