[Novalug] Fed Up

[jecottrell3 at comcast.net]

It has been my experience that one SUSE version will NOT upgrade to another.

You need to do a Fresh install, even between versions X.Y and X.Z, where Z=Y+1.

SUSE seems to be in the middle of "enhancing" (dare I say Embracing and Extending?) the software installation too, and it is Broken in several senses (one being that it lacks features available in older versions).

I found that the Factory version, called 11.2, works better, but still leaves something to be desired.

Good Luck,

JIM

I "upgraded" to OpenSUSE 11.1 on my desktop machine. The upgrade went well on 
my wife's computer so I figured I'd give it a shot on mine.

The repositories are totally screwed up.

After fighting with it all morning and into the afternoon without success, I 
decided to pull the plug on it and go with Ubuntu. It's working just fine and 
I'm copying all my documents, pictures and media files back on.
