Sorry about the premature amateur opinion.
Previously in SuSE 9.1 installed by highspeed
cable internet, only KINO ever crashed which
is expected due to being under development.
No other crashes in 1 year+ constant usage.

Now in 9.3 KBear ftp crashes. Also KDE panel crashes
sometimes. Installed from downloaded CDs.
Sorry about bad idea.
