I have not had trouble with it. For me it is a "necessity" (only because I'm
not ready
to learn how to compile sound into the kernel, et al) - I need sound. Also, I
like AbiWord
which doesn't load out-of-the-box in 8.0.

I have not done an upgrade to 9.

This will all be academic pretty soon, as I am probably moving to Mandrake (out
of curiosity
and for my kids), Debian (because of the passion with which people on this list
speak of it) and
S.u.S.E. (because I may be moving to Europe, and I would like to leverege my
Novell skills).
