Talking Linux for programming

I am surely a newbie. So, following in those footsteps, I chose SuSE for my distro. Getting it installed on my laptop was a real joy. First I had to fight with X, it would not install. So I downloaded the new version and ran the installer. That worked. Then KDE would not work, I am not familiar with desktops other than KDE and GNOME. so I downloaded and installed that. Ok, now I tried to start X (mind you I had to do all this in the CLI and I am a noob.) X starts up fine but then I get an error saying something about kdeinit. Then I remember that I had a hard time installing Qt, so I manually rin the rpm and get that installed. Now all is good and I am just configuring all my settings.

I don't think that I am a newbie any more.

Should I update my kernel to 2.6.x?
