Is 10.3 worth the trouble to upgrade?

I just upgraded to it.(opensuse 10.3) Everything works flawlessly(so far, as I can tell) except for one thing. My solid state drive is giving me DMA errors at bootup. It works correctly in use but my boot speed is about 3 minutes. *shrug* oh well. nearly every application I use opens up instantly.

I put in a bug report so hopefully my blessings for full SSD compatibility will be heard and the suse linux gods will smile upon me in a later version.

I only just upgraded one machine a couple of days ago, and it is more a file server running older hardware but with big disks, and so, not my primary desktop. The desktop I am in the process of upgrading as we speak. That's got the Athalon 3000+, the gig of ram, and the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (All in Wonder) and all my other peripherals(tablets, scanner, printers...). That's where I'll put 10.3 through its paces, particularly the XGL desktop, and the preview of KDE 4.

The laptop I'll save for last. But so far, I've no complaints, the installs, or more appropriately, the upgrades, are going smoothly.
