Ah well... since it's the only thing that isn't working and everything 
else works so awesomely (not sure that's even a word) I'm not going to 
complain, but will work on a solution...

Overall it feels REAL good to get back into a RedHat (CentOS) system. 
OpenSUSE 10.3 is nice and all, but it ain't CentOS!
