openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 5 Report

This release contains a lot of under-the-hood bug fixes, patches, and version upgrades. I wish I could say it seemed to be working better, but it seems a lot of the problems encountered with alpha 4 were still present and some new ones introduced with alpha 5. Not to fear though as it’s still early in the development process.

To me, SuSE is unlike a fine wine, because it gets worse with age. Each new release seems to bring on a new slew of bugs. I still have respect for it as I used it heavily a few years ago, but I would love to see a much smoother OS overall. You can read the thoughts on the latest release from our friends at TuxMachines.
