Well, that's not a very complete or helpful answer... but David, I'd suggest you seek help on a linux or SUSE newbies list. This is a high-traffic mailing list specifically for Evolution, and discussing basic linux skills is off-topic and will annoy people. Hint 1: If you're a newbie, don't try Evolution 2.1--it's under development and unstable, and you probably want something as solid as possible when you're starting out; so stick with the newest stable version (2.0.something) you can find for your version of SUSE (google/ask SUSE people!); Hint 2: google for help installing "RPMs".
