I think OpenSUSE users are just more vocal, but basically the contingent of those with a problem from no >15 access is heavily weighted with multibooters, whether they use OpenSUSE, Mandriva, *buntu or whatever. Fedora seems to have pushed most of its users into LVM, but I don't think LVM has caught or will catch on for the rest of the multibooters. None of the distros I've first used in the past 2+ years (probably longer, I just don't remember when I didn't see udev last) has failed to include udev. Until now at least I've been able to avoid doing any hardware upgrading that would force me into using only SATA. I have only one out of about 25 working systems with SATA exclusively. It I use virtually exclusively for OS/2 (you remember, the ancient and "dead" OS), and it currently has 50 partitions on disk 1, and 19 on disk 2. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?"
