dhclient on SuSE 6.1

[cyoung at bbnplanet.com (Chuck Young)]

Please pass on what your experiences are with SuSE tech support.  I tried
it for a while and liked the 5.3 distribution.  It just got old without a
cheap upgrade option, so I reverted back to RedHat.  It's like clothes for
growing children, except you can't buy "big".
