New motherboard is installed, up and running.

I had to upgrade my older kernel 2.4.20 based SuSE 8.2 to SuSE 9.1.

I had lots of driver issues due to the newer chipsets on the M.B. as well as 
the fact I was using patches on the older system to run the Audigy 2ZS 
soundcard.

I'm happy to say it seems like everything is running just dandy!
All hardware recognized and configured.

I gave Fedora Core 2 a try also but I like all the extra multi-media goodies 
SuSE packs into their distro's.

I may put Fedora Core 2 on another partition as a dual boot to play with it 
some more.

FYI - I downloaded SuSE's 9.1 Personal edition ISO and installed it.
        Then I changed my installation source to the ftp site and installed
        the many goodies that come in the professional edition.
        I usually buy a boxed set from SuSE but I was in a hurry this time.
        I'll probably go out and get a Professional Edition box just to help
        support them.


Just my $0.02 for the week,

Bob
