Great to hear that!

I `zypper dup`ed to Factory yesterday and ran into a couple minor issues
but am running fine now.
* It hung on reboot after installation, had to force-poweroff.
* There is no kernel-ppc64 any more, so my kernel was not upgraded.
  => `zypper in kernel-default` and change default Boot Loader in YaST
* Quite a few packages stayed behind, mostly libraries. => zypper rm
* The xf86-video-* packages have some ABI dependency issue currently.
* Surprised that /dev/kvm didn't have group kvm, will check qemu.spec.

Cheers,
Andreas
