An Alpha can never be too buggy.

They will be extremely interested in this information, so I asume you
have filed a bugreport. Otherwise the use of running an Alpha or Beta is
completely and utterly useless.

Bugreports, bugreports, bugreports.

I have no way of knowing that.

Bugreports if it is unrelated to bug #371997.

<snip unrelated stuff>

I just tried it on my main machine and I got the following results:
1) Instalation without a problem
2) No NVidia (Known bug)
3) Unable to boot back into 10.3, because it made the wrong entry in
menu.lst (#375200)

I do not have enough time to do much more serious testing, but can
anybody tell me what the button in the corner is for where you can make
your desktop smaller? I see it makes your desktop smaller, but I fail to
see the use for it.

Perhaps later I will try again and see if I can find other things.

As far as I can see, the best thing by far is there is a browser for 64
bit machines that works in firefox. This is provided with java 7 only.

The package management is broken right now.

I hope that they come with solution for the beta 1.

The package management FOR FACTURY (which is Alpha) is broken right now.
There, corrected that for you, because otherwise people could get under
te impression that their YaST is b0rken.

Well, that is what Alpha and Beta is for, but as they have marked it as
'blocker' it could be that they wait with the Beta untill this is
resolved.

Or not and give a warning and a workaround. Hell, it is beta, so who
cares if something is not working. If everything worked, that would be a
major bug, because it is Beta and thus would not act as expected (i.e.
broken)
