I had RH8, ran it for YEARS without problems, but wanted to upgrade so I could use GTK 2.0 programs and other programs depending on dozens of new libraries that I didn't really know how to install, especially not without cluttering up my system.

So I tried SuSE... And it never, ever worked with my NVidia card. I could not get it to go with the official drivers, at all. I had no 3D support! And the config programs weren't that great and it had plenty of other problems. Random, basic programs crashed.

Of course, I didn't know the half of what I was missing til I tried Fedora Core 3.

FC3 worked, solidly. Rarely ever does anything crash, it's much much faster and it's just plain better. And my 3D works.
