I wanted to get some opinions from people. I'm relatively new to linux, but have been a g33k my whole life. I have suse 10 running on my laptop and i've been having NOTHING but trouble with missing libraries / dependancies. It seems that no matter what I try to run (via RPM or compile) I'm missing something, somewhere. I've spent almost 2 weeks just downloading libraries and it's making me absolutely crazy. I have aptget and was hoping it would fix a few of my problems, but still I can't get many things working (gtkpod, vlc, xine dvd libraries, network manager, kismet just to name a few off the top of my head)

I'm open to the idea of switching distributions, will that help me at all? I was debating either fedora or ubunutu/kubuntu. Wanted to know what people with linux experience have to say about this. Any help would be apreciated!
