I wasn't as active as I could have been on the old forum, but whenever I needed help, It was always received. The people on the forum were the friendliest of all other forums I've been on, and also the most helpful. i still read old posts that I've made when I can't remember how to do something. I maintain a openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 machine for my daughter. It was the best choice for her. The openSUSE releases are always well tested and stable before they are released, unlike many other distros.
I'm glad to be back and that Crouse has kept the forum alive. I hope everyone else finds they're way back, too.
