I second that on the kernel.  You're going to want to wait until about
2.6.18 or so before really considering it for production environments, if
history is any indicator.  Just ask anyone that got bitten by 2.4.15, the
"stable" kernel that wiped whole filesystems on proper shutdowns and in
other conditions.  I generally won't consider a stable tree until about .18
or so, as that's when 2.2 became stable at last.  If that takes six months
or a year, so be it.

As for SuSE 9.0 and fP, fP runs flawlessly on it with -no- tweaking.  The
system I'm thinking of had 5.0.13 put on it, and it was absolutely fine.
Colours, keymap, graphics characters all worked with no modification to
either fP or SuSE whatsoever.
