Tweaking SUSE

I am still tweaking Suse to my tastes. Exteneded my logical volume since I see Suse occupies more /opt space than Redhat/Fedora. Downloaded and installed azureus with latest JRE. Set up the wireless lan on my laptop and reading more about wireless networks and sniffers.

Switched over to SUSE linux 10.0 OSS

Yesterday I downloaded SUSE and installed on my laptop. It was a breeze and it works quite nicely. I had to do this since it has become a pain to keep Fedora Core 4 working. To finalize, I screwed up the rpm db but unable to restore to any state. SUSE is good and I am a first time user. Really impressed.
I installed gnucash and now trying to sort out my Dell Truemobile 1300 WLAN. As I am writing this, I am installing gcc, ndiswrapper to make it work. Broadcom 4306 is setup successfully.
I am trying to understand and use Gnucash, which is quite complex.
