You know, if you couldn't do much with SuSE 5.3, I don't think you will
be able to do much more with 6.0. Any Linux distribution has some
problems, and most still have areas where a little understanding about
how things work (in the UNIX sense) is *required*.

Instead of upgrading to 6.0, why not try to find people using Linux
in your area and exchange ideas/gurus ?  I think this is the most
effective way of learning Linux. You can even then do a grouped
buying of software (when the license permits it).

I had no problem installing a quite fast modem PPP/Internet dialup
system on 5.2 and 5.3: however I had to change a few things by hand
(lock file, crtscts, speed of port, auto-dialing, chat script, etc).
