This list is not affiliated with the plug list in any way, other than most
of the members here are also on the plug list.

Maybe no one knows the answers to your questions. I do not or I would have
answered you. I agree with you about the nonsense part though.

My experience is with Red Hat/Fedora. As a result I know nothing about SUSE
specific things. I too prefer the technical discussions but alas I do not think
the majority of the members here have the experience necessary to be able to
answer questions about compilers. I have been doing sysadmin things for over 10
years. I can build most programs I set out to build but when it comes to
compiler specific questions I am clueless.
I always use whatever the distro ships. Years ago, I messed around with alternate
compilers but it was just too painful for me.

When you find one please share the wealth. :-)
Personally I find the best technical discussions occur on the distro specific
lists. Especially the lists that end with -devel. The problem is you need to
ask questions that are on topic for the list or you will either be ignored or
told to go to a different list. Right or wrong, the developers seem to have a
very low tolerance for actual user questions unless you are testing something
they happen to be working on.
The Enterprise support lists are also good places to get technical questions
answered but again you need to stay on topic.
I can provide links to Red Hat/Fedora/Centos related lists if anyone is
interested but I do not know about SUSE.
Have you tried any of the SUSE support lists?? Have you tried IRC??
