As I understand it, the eval version does not have a time limit. It is only "limited" in the sense that it is missing a few items included in the retail version. It is good for giving SUSE a good "evaluation." Perhaps that is why they chose that name.

Sorry, been away, look whatever problem you have had they shouldn't have to do whith whether you've been using 32bits code for an amd ? 64 bits Cpu. It should work either way. Why i said to try Slackware is because you seem to be interested in understanding linux, but everybody choose for themselves . It could be bad compilations before (the CD:s?) that freaked you out.
Good luck man.
