This suggestion may sound outrageous, but switch to RH 7.3. I am running SuSE Linux 8.0 and I have a ton of complaints. SuSE 7.1 is old and god knows what patches you have to get in order to make it work. SuSE support is not very helpful and they'll simply tell you to buy an upgrade for SuSE 8.0. I know that I intend to switch to 7.3 for Thanksgiving. The suggestion sounds outrageous, but I know that RH's help desk is much better, all the software is available for RH and you can find things on the independent search engines like rpmfind.net. Not so with SuSE.
