My experience with SuSE 8.1 is that it does a good job at installing and 
usually delivers what it claims. It's just that the apps tend to be old 
versions. And it funny that You mentioned Ardour because it's the only 
one (that comes to mind) that I remember having problems installing. 
That doesn't mean that there hasn't been problems with how well the apps 
are that are included with SuSE 8.1, it just means that I can't (recall) 
having problems with installing or running any other apps. Actually, I 
find that the dependencies and installations are pretty good. Like I 
said, the only thing I can say bad is how old some of the apps are 
though. But all that is needed to run the programs are there and do 
(tend) to install without a hitch. At least they do with SuSE 8.1.
