    Downloading now wanted to see the difference with OpenSUSE(Novell is selling out not sure if it might die).
    Anyway Slackware is out as well.

    Maybe il try a Fedora 13 / XBMC 10.5 combo on my ASRock Ion 330. :)
    Tried Ubuntu 10.04, but it was a total mess to try getting VDPAU and HDMI audio working properly.
    But for my notebook i guess il still need a dual boot solution.
    Dont think the open source ATI drivers can run EVE. xD

    But the name STILL doesn't stick. :)
    Felt Fedora is more responsive than OpenSUSE.

    I don't know whether to give up YAST! in OpenSUSE for the responsiveness in Fedora...
    Not to mention updating drivers in OpenSUSE is a breeze.

    That's tough....for me it's openSUSE if I want to use KDE, and Fedora or Ubuntu for every other DE.....but i'm loving this FC13 LXDE....very nice. I'm getting some minor bug reports but hope those will get ironed out since it's new...

    I also wish Fedora would release a LTS version!

    Ended up sticking with OpenSUSE.
    1)It is not that slow compared to other distro, at least not slow enough to bother me.
    2)Too lazy to reinstall
    3)OpenSUSE hasn't done anything to turn me off and warrant a exit from my harddisk.
    The excellent integration with my current laptop hardware is just too good to warrant a reformat.
