I got SuSe 9.2 Personal free off PC Format last month, which had an upgrade offer to the 9.3 Professional version for £20 off the full price.
You'll be glad to hear that after some digging around and after many RPM downloads I finally have BlitzMax up and running - sort of!!! I'll post what I downloaded later (as I'm at work now).
The 'sort of' comes from some weird error (well, non error) where some of my programs won't compile - in fact, it doesn't seem to do anything. I just get the 'Process complete" message and that's it.
On those that do I get about 2 FPS on anything that has any minimal graphics content. I believe this to be a graphics card driver issue that I am already aware of - SuSe simply doesn't recognise my Radeon 9800 Pro (even after downloading the RPM from ATI's site).
Anyway, I'll post elsewhere about these last two issues, as they're separate from the original problem I was having.
Thanks for your help.
