I will be going away from my computer in a few weeks, to the hospital, and will be there for up to two weeks. Is there a way to suspend mail from SuSE, or must I unsubscribe at that point? (I don't get that much mail from anywhere else, so I'm not worried about that.)
If you'll be able to work with it while you're recuperating, you might ask the hospital if they have internet for patients. It's been a while since I had anything to do with a hospital myself, but visiting at least two family members during their stay, both hospitals had wifi access, one in the waiting rooms, and the other in the patients' rooms.

As a clinician, it's very likely that most major hospitals will have some sort of access. However, be aware that many admins with hospital IT departments limit access (filters, ports, protocols). So, depending on your needs it may or may not be what you had hoped for. If you wanna FTP or dl a large amount of files or go to certain sites you may have a problem, using the browser, I had to back door to the openSuSE site - was blocked generically related to classifying open source in the same category as file sharing. Also the limitation have to do with HIPAA in the U.S. (providing you're in the U.S. that is). It is a great distraction, especially if you don't have a private room (I highly recommend a private room). Anyway, here's wishing you a speedy recovery. Cheers, Curtis. -- BEWARE!
