OpenSUSE to drop ZENworks

I gave up on OpenSuSE at 10.1.... 10.0 ran perfectly, and 10.1 was a dog....

I've moved on... running Ubuntu now and haven't looked back.

10.1 was almost unusable. I stayed with 10.0, switched to 10.2, and -
again - I am a very happy user of SuSE Linux. It works even better once
you know how to shut off ZMD...

I moved to using suse full time at version 9.1, after years of redhat use. I agree 10.1 was pretty messy, but 10.2 is a nice comeback, since you no longer need the whole zmd thing. I also routinely remove beagle and friends, and the result is a smooth running box, on the desktop, laptop or in the server room.

I switched away from Redhat at about the same time. Even the pay version of RH workstation 3 was buggy.
I've been happy with my switch to SuSE, and, more recently, my switch to OpenSuSE. I'm running 10.1 commercial on my laptop and the update nastiness kind of got on my nerves. Otherwise, it's still decent. The 10.2 release seems to work pretty well. I like how up to date most of the packages are.
