Having done the same thing yesterday (even from Debian to Suse), my major problem with Suse 9.1 is that several of the key apps (for me) have been monumentally dumbed down - specifically Xine and other tools which make use of DSS and various video codecs for watching DVD's etc. At least there are websites for Fedora 2 which enable you to add their repositories to 'yum' (software installation tool) - from there, you can at least then install the various updates which aren't so limited. I haven't managed to find one for Suse yet :-( Glen -- ======================================================================== Glen Lewis Sydney, Australia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
