In my experience, if you are not happy with the stuff that comes installed by default, you are s.o.l. Trying to customize the distro to suit your needs, well thats not the way SuSe intends it to be for their user apparently. Tough love is what I term it. Isn't that the case for the Red Hat versions too? or for that matter any rpm based distro? Well, isn’t that what paid phone support is for? ;-)
