Currently 2 Gig of physical memory, and I think a 10 Gig Swap partition that it finds and uses. I was guessing that something was hanging up in the CD/DVD-ROM drive. I ran a memory test and found nothing wrong there. And like I said, both Knoppix 5.4 and Unbuntu 8.10 woudl freeze right after I click on some seemingly unimportant button.
I guess that since I can not currently boot SuSe at all, installing to Unbuntu (or Kunbuntu, for which I just downloaded the Live/Install iso) and having the computer only run Unbuntu may not be much of a lose anyway.
