Dell Inspiron 6000d
Upgrade to SuSE 9.3

SuSE 9.3 has kernel 2.6.11.4, including a number of patches for issues that are troublesome in SuSE 9.2 (kernel 2.6.8). Plus, of course, its own collection of screwups. See here for a list of issues that are important to me on this machine. Here is a plan and checklist for upgrading from SuSE 9.2 to 9.3.

SuSE 10.0 has kernel 2.6.13, and even more patches; v10.1 has kernel 2.6.16. I used the same general procedure to upgrade to these versions. Where significant, the relevant kernel version is indicated in the plan.
