Thanks for the positive thoughts. I've been using SuSE for years (since 9.0) but when the kernel changed from 2.4 to 2.6 I saw strangeness on the 600x with networking. 9.0 runs GREAT. AS I recall 9.1 would work with tweaking. I am going to 9.2 again and try to recall what the problems were with that. Any SuSE help would be appreciated.
