IDL on openSUSE [message #65354]

I'm currently in the process of setting up a new analysis computer which
requires IDL. I had hoped to use CentOS (RedHat) 5.2, because that's what I'm
used to and I know IDL works.

However, the installation is proving troublesome because the CentOS/RedHat
installer doesn't like the graphics card/monitor combination, so I have to
install in text mode. This makes configuring the disks as LVM on RAID rather,
how shall I put it, bothersome.

I've tried an OpenSUSE installer and that doesn't appear to have any problems
with the graphics/monitor and provides a nice installation setup. But I have no
experience of using IDL on OpenSUSE. So, has anyone every tried using IDL on
OpenSUSE (specifically 64bit)? Does it work? Are there any gotchas I need to be
aware of?
