I kept getting random X server lockups with different applications. I'd be  
typing along, invariably on something important, and it would freeze all X  
functions. I had to do a hard reset to get it back. Since it didn't happen  
with other OSes, I could only conclude it was something unique to the way  
Ubuntu is put together. It gave me the excuse I needed to try openSUSE  
11.2-RC1. After some initial fixing, it's working quite well.

I've long ago grown tired of testing and hopping from one distro to  
another. All I wanted was something that would run on this machine and let  
me do my writing. Naturally, it had to be Linux or BSD because of my work  
habits. If things keep working as I hope, this will be a keeper.
