in all past distrobutions of SUSE I have used there was an option to upgrade, and I can only imagine hardware detection would be improved, (I didn't have a problem with 9.3 in this regard) so I'm guessing hardware detection would be at least as good. If my understanding of the Open SUSE project (is this what you are speaking of?) is correct it is a bleeding edge distro. I don't think this means it will be unstable though as I have used Fedora (a Redhat based bleeding edge distro) without a probelm (core 1 to core 4). I am going to wait for the final release of Open SUSE 10 though before I upgrade, and do a fresh install. Hope that is of some help - Gary
Does any one know if 9.3 can simply be upgraded to 10 or will it require a completely new fresh install ? And will it automatically seek out and install hardware components better than 9.3 ?
Thanks all
