I got mine a few days ago and I've been quite happy with the software, I haven't looked at any of the novel software, but the SuSE stuff is not eval in any way I see. The only problem I had, disc 3, 9.1 pro, doesn't work. I can boot, but it won't read the package info, so I had to copy it to my nfs server and install through nfs.
