SUSE 9.3 is spectacularly solid with GnuRadio, has the low latency
patches in the updated kernels, and YAST (Yet Another Somethingorother
Tool) is really quite lovely as a system management tool. Upgrades are
trivial. They distribute with a buggy version of gcc which they
appear to have patched. What the patches consist of, I am too lazy
and/or busy to find out. I downloaded and installed gcc 3.4.4 and have
been very happy.
Just do not try to upgrade Gtk until Eric and or others tell us that
they have upgraded to (say) Gtk 2.8 and beyond and all of the funkiness
with atk, pango, etc. have been worked out. I will really be happy to
get an upgraded set of Gtk/Python tools at my disposal because the
initialization of the controls (or lack thereof) is a pain. We should
not have to touch controls to initialize them, or we should standardize
on rc files where the "last setting" or a set of profiles is stored and
read at user control. If I had time, I would do it. I do not have
time. I need to use the USRP/GnuRadio for specific tasks and that
consumes the time I have available for this. BTW, wxPython2.6.1
builds, installs, and works with the Gtk distributed with SUSE 9.3
SUSE 9.3 is why I have been stable on one distribution for months.

Otherwise, being brand new to LINUX, is SUSE (I have 9.2, not yet
installe!) good?
I have a new USRP (not out of the box yet) but I'm worried that I
didn't go with Fedora Core 3 or 4...
Thanks for feedback!
