Whew. Using SuSE Linux Professional 8.2. I love Linux and want to learn this OS but have been struggling with these issues: (1) Package download installation from the Internet. Never seems to go smoothly. (2) CDs don't play in my CD drive. An app called "kscd" opens and indicated files are shown as playing but no sound. CDs with MP3s do play, however. Other multimedia apps don't play these CDs either. Sound works when KDE starts. BTW, how do you set system sounds? (3) My digital camera is recognized as a device but Linux freezes when I try to access images. Same thing happens with a simple USB compatible reader when connected. (4) When on the Web, and I try to access a video stream appropriate to my connection speed, nothing happens. Real Player for Linux is installed but that never seems to work, either. These seem to be my main beginning issues that I am having problems with. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
