I think it's more a problem with e Skype beta release DD the thing was a bitch to get workign with my sound card on SuSE The POS packagmanger installed this version The older version worked OK now I've got to go remove the package and install my older version that always has worked just fine.
I've got my Slaackware machine setup, and All my data moved over (had to burn 12 DVDs and delete over 60 GB of data) I've got Debian, Mandrivia, SuSE (64 bit but I think I'll pass) CentOS, Gentoo and BSD Free; all amd_64 bit releases. I am going to go through them all, Try very basic installs. I'll save BSD for last it is NOT linux but an open source Unix It's an OS I installed via dialup & ftp before Linux was so readily available. I think I want to try using it.
