If I could figure out how to get my Canon i850 printer to work properly under Suse 10.2 Linux, I would go back, but there seems to be no way to get the Pixus driver installed, or at least installed in a way I can figure out how to use it. I have the apt-get commands for Debian based Linux distros and it works for this just fine. I will need the Canon LIDE 25 scanner sooner or later, so I'll have to make the switch sooner, before I need it.
Is there a way to use a kernel from another distro or are they all broken now? in other words, is even Suse broken in the latest incarnation of their distro?
