Thanks for your help. By way of explanation, the dependencies problem came when I tried to install wine. There were so many programs that I had to download and install that I couldn't get through the programs needed to install wine. But wine wouldn't install without them. I need to use the winamp player because there is a specific plugin for it that will lock onto an IEP when it is streaming, and no matter what goes on, internet down for a day, or whatever, it always automatically reconnects itself and starts firing up so I am pretty locked in to what I need as far as the player. What version of wine do you recommend that would run winamp and what version of linux do you recommend to go with wine? Am I missing something as to getting wine to install in the new version of suse without having a bunch of dependencies to deal with? I really would like to use suse as I am familiar with it but think I could pick up on another version even though I dread learning another as I have . Thank you for your help. You have no idea how I appreciate it.
