    The last time I tried banshee was a long time ago, back on Ubuntu 6.06, which feels like an eternity ago. Now that the long anticipated 1.0 release is out the door, and I've sat back and given it some time to stabalize, I decided to give it a try.

    I left openSUSE 3 years ago, and for good reason, it sucked. It was buggy, bloated, slow, and horribly unfriendly to use. So let's skip ahead 3 years to the present, openSUSE 11.0 is out and I'm ready to forgive past mistakes and give them another shot.

openSUSE 11.0 installer boot screen

    To be quite honest, as soon as I put in the DVD and saw the boot screen I knew something was different, it had the same old SUSE green but it had a fresh feel to it. This wasn't going to be the same SUSE that made my tear my hair out in frustration 3 years ago, so I quicly decided to come into this review with an open mind and a fresh pair of eyes.
