'Carefull about claims about any distro. YOU may have a problem with Konq. in 
SUSE on YOUR 'puter - I don't on mine nor the boxen I maintain. To claim that 
a distro. isn't well polished isn't correct at all AND an unjust claim! There 
are always hardware issues, and as is with Linux, OFTEN not fixable 
immediately because OEMS flat out refuse to work (generally) with those 
writing the code. To claim YOU have a problem is fine, but lets not taint a 
company with a bad brush when it's OBVIOUSLY not justified.
