This is true, however you will need to do quite a bit of hacking to get init scripts working.
True, but most packages one would need that require init scripts are already available from SuSE at this point, or if it is something that is compiled and needs to run, it could be added to boot.local . . .

When I use http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html to locate RPM packages, I very infrequently find any packaged for SuSE. Is there a "best" alternative to use, e.g. Red Hat? How should I go about selecting a "found" RPM package if I want to run it on SuSE Linux 7.2 (soon 7.3)? Thanks. -- Eric
Many of the RedHat RPM's do work fine on SuSE, outside of very sytem specific packages. Typically you will get errors if they do not work correctly. I have found, however, that often if you run into issues the best bet is to go to the website for the software and get the source code and compile it. This is usually not hard at all, and then you are guaranteed it will run properly on your system.
