Once power quality, thermal environment and component quality/stability issues have been attended to, _that_ is the time to start troubleshooting the OS & software/setup if problems arise.
Good luck!

So what you are suggesting is that people should tailor their systems to suit Suse/Linux rather than the other way around.
Sounds to me like a recipe for disaster for Linux.
Cheers.
I don't think that's a bizarre way of doing things, Basil - Spec your applications, then your OS, then buy hardware that it will run on. Don't randomly go out and buy hardware and then try to get what you need to run on it. However, I would certainly agree that it's hard work trying to get accurate info on what current hardward *will* run well on a given distro. -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk
