If you want to use digium hardware dont use suse 9.0. It seems to think the E1 card is a tigerjet bri card and the kernel hangs on ztcfg. Based on th wiki, avoid kernel 2.6 unless you know what you are doing. Likewise with fedora, which seems to work but needs kernel thread turned off. I'm just about to try RedHat 8.0, which gets good comments in the wiki. Tim.
