I'm curious, do you find it boggs down very severely sometimes? I find that 
happens with my system and its very noticeable especially when I'm listening 
to music in XMMS and running YaST (especially when starting YaST, the music 
will skip severely). As I find this a recurring problem with both the 9.0 and 
9.1 FTP versions and I doubt SUSE would market a product that has this kind 
of issue I am very convinced that this is particular to the FTP version and 
will not be a problem in the personal and professional editions and I'm 
hoping you can confirm my suspicion for me.

I have also sent an e-mail to SUSE asking them the same.

For the record I am running a Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz with 2 256 Mb chips of DDR ram 
and I have a GForce FX 5200 Video card as well as  a 512 Mb swap partition.

So far SUSE 9.1 seems to be the ideal system for programmer and power users, 
it works flawlessly except for the performance issue which I'm hoping is 
specific to the FTP version, it comes with all the development tools one 
might ever need including KDevelop, Gambas, KRPMBuilder, the latest Quanta 
plus, the latest version of The gimp and Rekall, everything sport a unified 
theme (or so it seems although GTK and KDE widgets do not look not perfectly 
identical) and its very easy to maintain.

In order to beat what SUSE has included in their professional edition 
Microsoft would have to take Windows XP professional ($299 USD), Visual 
Studio .net professional ($1 079 USD), Microsoft Office XP standard ($399 
USD) and hundreds of other applications and make the entire package available 
for just under $100 CAD.
