I received the Update version SUSE 9.0 Professional yesterday and installed it 
last night.  The first things I noted were:

1.  No cool graphical representation of a math formula on the box or cover.  
(Aha!  Already we see the corporate smothering of creativity!)

2.  The DVD was bad.  (Or do you need a special DVD reader for double-sided 
DVD's?)  I could boot up from the DVD and start the installation; but the 
installation program could not find the applications.  I had to install from 
the CDROM's.

3.  I have a Linksys ethernet PCI card and a Cisco Aironet PCI card.  The 
Cisco card was configured as wlan0.  I had to configure the Linksys card to 
go nowhere (no cable is attached, no "do not activate at boot up" option seen 
in yast) and:

mv /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1

to establish wireless connectivity.

4.  An evaluation CD of iAnywhere's (Sybase) SQL Anywhere Studio for Linux was 
included in the box.
