You can do that.

In 8.1, yes.
5) where can i get more detailed info about suse? where can i find out info and comparisons about/between all the major distros?
Not sure what you're looking for but you may want to start here: http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/i386/index.html

Yes.
Just looked over the package listing, and can I make a suggestion? Zebra 0.92a has serious problems with keeping it's routes and interface status synced with the kernel. Zebra 0.93 fixes this. COuld you guys either switch to this soon or patch up 0.92 to fix this? Thanks Donavan Pantke
