I've converted six Fedora/Redhat boxes to SuSE 9.0, and have only found
one hard to setup X.  That was my laptop with the nVidia binary driver.

As I told Brian, I think there is a bug where you have to save twice in
a row for the save to take.

I run Gnome on 5 out the 6 boxes I converted, and they all run fine
(after adding the kill/bonobo-slay crap to the logout).

I see Ximian just released XD2 for SuSE 9.0.  I'm going to try it RSN.

> Online update doesn't work.

Works great for me (the Yast one).  I use a local mirror since SuSE's
official site is usually too busy.

> Red Carpet channels are empty.

Don't know about that, I use yast.
