I am a SuSE Linux user for long years. In my experience it is best to wait 
for at least minor version 3. I tried 6.1 and worked for a long time with 
6.4. Later I tried Suse 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and was not satisfied. Only 7.3 was 
rock solid with good device support.

So if you really want to use SuSE 8 then you should wait at least for SuSE 
8.3.
