Being (still somewhat) new to all this, I'm not sure if this is off limits. But I will take a chance. I want to say that SuSE has proven to be a really exellent distrob for Multimedia. And it has consistantly delivered what it promises (when you install a program, it useually works right). Any problems I've had running programs have come from lack of experience.
Did I just start a Religious war with that statement?

Great information. I guess you've helped "soften me up" about the biggest part of trying out new (or newer versions of) programs (the compiling headeachs).
I'm sure I will eventually download it and get it going. I have so many other progams that I'm trying out right now though.
Thanks,
Rocco
