Its not that hard. But it is one of the best learning experiences you can get with Linux. Once you build a working kernel, you'll know *alot* more about Linux and your hardware. See the KERNEL section on the SxS site for excellent detailed instructions on how to build your own kernel. I'm sure that SuSE does patch their kernels up the wazoo, but that hardly means that you are tied to them. All distros patch their kernels heavily. I haven't used a distro supplied kernel since 2.2.5. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
