[NBLUG/talk] SUSE 10.0 first impression

[Bob Blick]

I loaded SUSE 10.0 on a machine last night. SUSE has always been an easy install 
and very pulled-together and well-detailed distro, so there are few significant 
changes there.

However, there is one big change. It is very fast booting up. Twice as fast as I'm 
used to linux booting up. There's a new directory called "preload" that probably has 
something to do with it. The first shutdown was slower than normal, subsequent 
shutdowns are fast.

Test machine is an 850MHz Duron. The machine I compared it to is an Athlon 
1200MHz running SUSE 9.3

Bittorrent ISOs available at:

and elsewhere.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
