-You'll be even more upset if you paid for that SuSE - since in 12 days the next SuSE 7.1 version is coming out with all the goodies-
a few questions:
Is this your first attempt with Linux? You may need to do a bit more reading and become familliar with Linux file system, commands, and package management before your programs will install and work for you.
How about posting a description of your hardware and telling us what you have done so far to configure things? This is much better than saying 'my soundcard doesn't work but it's configured.'
Also keep in mind that there is usually an extensive (often confusing and over detailed) HOWTO for just about anything related to Linux. The files may be on your system already or you can find them at several Linux sites.
Hang in there.
