I can't see any reason to have 3 hard drives btw, no one commonly needs several terabytes of storage space :o The error message was a bug and has been fixed already some 2 weeks ago, the update for that is in testing waiting to be bumped ahead.

If you have 3 hard drives, expect to have to setup grub manually. Also if you want it to propose an LVM setup, expect to have to hold it's hand on that too. Once you boot up, expect various dialog windows to popup telling you "Failed to get package updates" with no explanation or reason. Expect a notification icon in the bottom right when you update packages that will only tell you what they do by mouse over, a single or double click will not bring it into a bigger window explaining what it wants. If during installation it detects an hp printer, expect it to fail installing the hplip driver. Like a mac? Absolutely not. FYI all of these bugs have been reported, I am not complaining without action. I have the retail boxes version of openSUSE, and it definitely is not more polished.

Also the target user segment is different from Ubuntu's. I can't as OpenSuse user think of anything that I would actually want from the community. Things just work and I can focus on my real life tasks. It's a bit like using a Mac really, except that it isn't. :-) OpenSuse has more goodies out of the box, the polishment level is better.
