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.
