I remember I boguht my first and only Discman, a Sony, and after about a month or so they started selling discmans with that Anti-shock feature. Mine of course didn't have it. I was devastated, I treated my discman like crap but it didn't die for like 3,4 years.

Anyone here had a minidisc? What a flop that was :D

On the market for years without anyone giving it a second look. Then when they were just starting to take off the mp3 players appeared. :D

openSuSe 10.3. They really came a long way from SuSe 10.0, which was, if memory serves, the first distro I ever tried.

I installed via the KDE download CD and everything went smoothly, installing graphics card drivers was a piece of cake with their Support Database website. Installing pretty much everything was easy, which was not the case in 10.0 where you ended up in a dependency hell by trying to install just about anything.

I like YAST, I like sysinfo:/, I like that it's fast and boots pretty fast. I'm gonna keep it untill the new Sabayon comes out.

to answer your earlier question martin, i didnt appreciate vlc enough before i used to pain that is know as the smplayer, supposedly some sort of upgrade to the mplayer

imo mplayer is the best movie player ever. The interface is fantastically responsive and efficient. The only stupid decision they made was to make a gui for it. The gui has forever been broken and making the whole thing crash. So if smplayer sucks (I can totally picture that) I say set up your desktop to open videos with mplayer. No more ugly gui and stupid buttons. Control the video with the cursor keys, space to pause, f to fullscreen etc.

You should try KMplayer, IMO the best option out there, never had any problems with it.

Fast, responsive, doesn't crash, pretty much every decent piece of software installed out of the box, along with all the codecs, and the best package management. Emerge this, emerge that and you're done. :p

Sabayon never worked well with me but Suse 10.3 on the other hand is something else.

I really like to come back to Portage but I can't be arsed with a two day installation for an operating system.

When is the new Sabayon coming out?

so happy to install kooldock and write and execute a script to make it run on boot and now it just crashes and i cant even uninstall it

Oh, ouch. Do you get something like a boot menu when you turn it on? If so, you could boot into what's called single user mode, which gives you a completely barebones boot (no graphical stuff at all) where you are the root user and you can edit the necessary files. Typical scenario for when you lose your root password or something like that.
