Posix sucks, Linux sucks, I want my compatibility back

? That doesn't make much sense. SuSE has RPM brain-damage, sure, and the Redhat-ification of SuSE's init scripts around 8.0 made it suck badly, but you should be able to install-use audio creation software without contortions. If you need the "1000Hz timer support", grab the latest vanilla tarball and compile it--that'll get around all the bugs in the SuSE-patched kernel. But I think you're going to have to be much more specific than "it isn't good" to get your problems solved.

This also doesn't make much sense. If you can see parbreastion 3 in "fdisk -ldev-hdb", and it's of type 0x83, and there's a ReiserFS on that parbreastion, "mount -t reiserfsdev-hdb3mnt-somewhere" should Just Work. Unless you did something odd like use ReiserFS 4, or use LVM, or use ReiserFS 3.5.... Post the output of "mount -v -vdev-hdb3mnt-somewhere" so that experienced troubleshooters can look at it.
