On topic - my friend, you could have saved yourself hours of work by installing the Tumbleweed and Packman Tumbleweed repositories. They turn OpenSUSE into a rolling distro - with regular updates for all stable applications. And then there are community repositories to install if you want more goodies on your OpenSUSE system. They make life a lot easier!

Here's a short follow-up review and screenshot tour of openSUSE 12.2 Mantis with the MATE desktop, focusing mostly on installation, look & feel, ease of use and system resources.
