Installed sage under Ubuntu yesterday. Just for trying out. (Well, actually I tried it out a little bit already on their fantastic webservice)
The first thing I tried, however, gave me an error message!
ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (805, 0))

And then more blabla. Not very nice, I would say. Apparently, it is a conflict between certain versions of Sage and Maxima.
My solution: building Sage myself from source. Not hard to do, and you get the latest version fully installed. Disadvantage: it takes a couple of hours of compiling!
Had an error message when opening KMyMoney in opensuse:
kmymoney: symbol lookup error: kmymoney: undefined symbol: _ZN14KMyMoneyPlugin14ImporterPlugin16staticMetaObjectEv
Solution: updating KMyMoney!
Something I miss in comparison with Arch, or even Ubuntu: the constant (rolling) updating of your total system. I know selecting all possible updates is possible somehow in Yast, but still…
Pentax has recently issued a new firmware update (1.03) for their current top DSLR, the K20D. Linux users might be suprised to see that only Windows and Mac users are supposed to download the firmware, as there’s only a download link for those two. A closer look to the accompanying text, however, shows that the Mac download is actually an ordinary zip file. I have yet to see a Linux distro that doesn’t support extraction of zip-files, and this particular zip-file extracts to the bin-file you need to update the camera. Even under Linux (or BSD or…)
