You just need to adjust which machine connects to the internet. BTW, the suse box would need 2 NICs, and both the router and the suse box would need to NAT. HTH
One option is to turn the Linksys router into, well, a router. By default, they NAT (gateway mode). Most of the newer models will just route (i.e. not NAT). Of course you would need to add a static route on your SuSE box, but that shouldn't be too big an obstacle. I do not have a LinkSys router it is a Motorola SBG1000. Which I am just waiting to find a different router that provides the same features as the Motorola, but with better built in Firewall. It has a built in 4 port hub/switch, Print server, 802.11B Access Point and a cable modem. The cable modem is great as it never drops, but the rest is mediocre to crap. If anyone knows of a reasonable replacement I would appreciate it. Thanks!
