SuSe 9.3 / Re: [conspire] s MEPIS 3.3.1 t2 Gnu / Linux

[Adrien Lamothe]

I'm experiencing some strange audio playback from
RealPlayer 10.0.3.748 Gold in SuSE 9.3 Pro. - the PCM
volume is automagically re-set when playing an audio
track. Otherwise it appears to be a great distro.
Novell has actually re-located their headquarters to
Waltham, MA, where Miguel DeIcaza and his group can
now apply some rationality to the releases. Looks like
Novell is serious. KDE is faster than in SuSE 9.2 (the
QT libs are the same.)
