SuSE 9.2 is pretty spiffy

So lately I've been playing with SuSE 9.2, a linux distribution recently acquired by Novell. I must say, it's pretty spiffy. It's the first distribution I've used where nearly everything seems to work right out of the box on installation, and which handles things like removeable media properly, which Linux has historically been bad at.

I tried installing it at home, but then remembered how many local customizations I have, and have decided to revert until I have a large uninterrupted block of time to play with it. I did save the install-in-progress in a big tarball so I can quickly resume where I left off.

Meanwhile I got submount, the spiffy removeable media system SuSE uses, working on Fedora Core 2. Now you just put the media in, cd to the mount point, and there it is. You can also eject the media any time you're not using it without having to umount it manually. Fun fun fun!
