got my new WD harddrive and set up Suse 8.0.
It went as smooth as I've ever seen an OS install.
Geforce3, Terratec soundcard, both my Intel NIC's, everything detected and almost nothing to configure manually.
Now I just have to get used to the file manager
It's mostly after reading the posts of the regulars around here that I decided to go for it, so thanks all ...... and erm, tips are alays welcome
