I assume you need SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 to do this but what other software? Is this an Apache module and then you subscribe to a service? Can one do your own SSL electronic billing ** SECURELY ** using SuSE rather than a paypal link? Can anyone point me to e-commerce information for Linux and SuSE? Thanks.

No module, a simple redirect. You make a deal with something like American Express, charge.com or chargegateway.com (no endorsements, I don't know *anything* about American companies and banks, when I was involved in a project that did this once, we had a deal with the biggest local bank here. Be sure to check out the credentials of the company you select). Then simply link to the URL they allocate for your company, usually they set you up with a template where you can pass along price/quantity/whatever info they need to construct the bill, charge the customer, deduct a fee and pass along the balance to you. Look around at online merchants, I think you'll find very few that has in-house credit card processing. People don't want just anyone to get their hands on their credit card numbers
