[ale] Segmentation fault under SuSe, what th....... ?

[Dow_Hurst]

Courtney,
You probably have a libc mismatch and would need to compile firefox from scratch to get it to run on SuSE 9.0.  That version of SuSE is no longer supported for security updates so probably should be upgraded if you run a desktop environment on it.  OpenSuSE 10.3 is a great desktop environment and very similar in file structure to the original SuSE 9.x versions.  You would need to do a fresh install but just backup the essential files like passwd, shadow, fstab and so on so you can reference them for info after the system is up and running.

If you don't want to upgrade your distro version with fresh installs on your server machines, you should take a look at running Debian.  I'm not familiar with Ubuntu enough to know if you can do the eternal upgrade process like with Debian.  I would think Debian would not give a cutting edge desktop environment like OpenSuSE 10.3 gives.  My two cents!
Dow
