[ale] SuSE update

[Dow.Hurst at mindspring.com (Dow Hurst)]

Tim,
Are you purchasing the laptop from Emperor?  That is usually cheaper and 
more guaranteed when working with them than taking it after the fact.  
Also, it does need to be a model they work with for the "not purchased 
from them" software workover.

The Admin book in each SuSe package usually had a section on upgrading 
from one version to the next.  There were lot's of issues from 8.x to 
9.x so 7.x to 9.x would probably be a reinstall and not upgrade 
recommended path for sure.
