Trying Linux again… :::sigh:::

Will I ever learn?

I was reading a thread about how OpenSuSE 10.1 is buggy as hell, particularly when it comes to installing the bootloader (duh!) A few people had said that 10.0 was a much more stable release, so I fired up the bit torrent client and grabbed the OpenSuSE 10.0 .iso file. 

Got it installed, and indeed, it wrote the bootloader without an incident.  Played around in it for awhile, but really wanted to go to 10.1 so I could reinstall XGL, so I did the update routine with a bit of trepidation.  Amazingly, everything worked just fine and I got XGL working again.

Only, after getting XGL working, I was unable to launch Firefox from the desktop shortcut.  Jeez – is anything going to go correctly when it comes to Linux?
