Just installed OpenSuse 11.2

First thoughts:

Pretty installer.

Installing nvidia proprietary drivers from this link: http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA
Why is it downloading 800mb of packages? I know I used the Gnome live cd install but still...

This page looks useful: http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories

Fonts look really bad on my screen. Not sure why yet.

Wireless worked out of the box (unlike Windows 7).

Sound isn't working right now (unlike Windows 7). I will see if I can get it going. My sound card is the Asus Xonar DX.

The Gnome default menu thing is possibly the worst piece of design I have ever seen. Switched back to 'Traditional Menu' (right click on taskbar and click Add).

Anyway thats all for now. 700Mb of packages still to install before my Nvidia drivers are done. I am going to bed.
