[SWLUG] SuSE update

[Foeh Mannay]

Peter,

Why don't you find a bearable text mode IRC client (perhaps bitchx will
be to your tastes) then log onto the #swlug channel on IRC... then if
you do your changes and lose GUI at least you can ask someone on there!

Might be an idea to make sure there are people on before you start ;o)
