My .02....
That is a system is a good candidate, but you could run into some
problems with the processor card.. I don't have any direct experience with
SuSE but run YDL 3.0.1 on most of macs here in my studio/office. And I
really haven't any problems.. Install was easy, learning curve for a linux
newbi was kinda stiff.. But back to the point on TerraSoft's support lists
there have been many individuals that had to fight tooth and nail got get
their upgrade cards to work correctly...
