Ok, so I got a copy of Suse 9.1 comp[lete install yadda yadda yadda.
I installed it, easy enough, but I have some issues now.
For one I can't get on the internet. Tried configuring it in install, but couldn't get it to fly, any ideas? I am on T-Online which a lot of you probably don't have a clue about. It connects via PPPoE through them.
Second major problem is my screen. It is polarized, looked fine during install, but noe that it's installed it looks like ass. Maybe my drivers, but I can't get online to update
Any insight into these or other weird happenings will be apprectiated.

PPPoE... (shudders). Well, Linux does support it. Hopefully there is a module compiled. It should be named pppoe, so just type 'modprobe pppoe' at your root prompt, then try to acquire a DHCP address via 'dhcpcd eth0'. I'm assuming that your highspeed line is connected direclty to the NIC in the back of your box.
Also I am assuming again that your motherboard is that nForce you got recently. If so, then your network card's module is 'forcedeth'. Just modprobe that if eth0 is not listed when you do an 'ifconfig -a'. After you do get your box online, go to nVidia's site and download the latest motherboard drivers for Linux. You'll get much better performance.
