I found an issue with Slime + Emacs, but I'm almost certain that this is to do with using the latest CVS version of Slime.

However, I have to say that this experiment has shown me that OpenSuse 11.1 is not as good as Ubuntu - for me. No 3D, very slow package downloading, and default applications not working are the main reasons.

On the plus side, the default theme is a little nicer, yast is pretty good and it's not actually bad. It's just not as easy to get up and running. I like to use the system, not play around with it forever. It also lacks a 'why?' answer, as in why the hell should I change?

But I'm not going to stop here, oh no. Next up is to try another big distro - Linux Mint. Once again, same as before, 3D must work, codecs must work. Downloading right now.
