“just about every 8.x and 9.x version”

rather than:

“just about every 8.x and 8.x version”

I found SuSE way back, (Version 7?? - 2.0.3? kernel) and thought it the best. I paid money for just about every 8.x and 8.x version and even 10.0! It was then, it all went wrong. 10.2 is lovely to use - it really is! But the entire software installation and maintenance system is FUBAR, and it has been so since 10,0. I maintain two SUSE and three Kubuntu machines, and SUSE is a pain and Kubuntu is a dream, when it comes to installing and maintaining software. For a user, I think SUSE is better; for the administrator, Kubuntu is much better. Of course, SuSE was always enlightened in its support for ReiserFS and KDE. Now, SUSE appears to like Gnome and EXT3. Not for me and my users! So, where to go? Kubuntu is my best bet for now. A Sad!

I detest Yast right now. Using Yum with Fedora is much easier. I feel your pain. I detest Yast right now. Using Yum with Fedora is much easier.
