Yeah... To put not to subtle a point on it... SUSE 10.0 and 10.1 were
pretty lousy. If anyone used those version as your first SUSE, you
probably have a bad experience and are right to look elsewhere.
Having said that, 10.2 is pretty good, except for some initial packager
manager hiccups that are ironed out now. MythTV and MPlayer were quite
easy to install on 10.2, although I did a bunch of reading to make sure
I knew what I was doing, having never used Myth before.
