I'm not quite clear on the impact of UnitedLiux on future SuSE developments. Does this mean there will be a decline or full stop in SuSE linux releases to focus on the joint project? Or will there ever be a SuSE 9? Cheers -- Matt Johnson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The next version of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) will be based on UnitedLinux. (Powered by United Linux (tm)) SuSE Linux Personal and SuSE Linux Professional will not be based on UnitedLinux as this is a Linux especially tailored for Enterprise use. Of course, all changes made for UnitedLinux that will be useful for personal Linux use will be integrated in SuSE Linux Personal and SuSE Linux Professional.

Just to confirm what Waldo has said: we will continue to release "the box" - i.e. SuSE Linux Personal and Professional - on an approximately six-monthly release cycle, while SLES will be "powered by UnitedLinux" with a longer release cycle. This is what has already been happening - SLES7 is the current SLES: SLES 8 will appear soon and will be based on UL. UL itself is a core LSB-compliant distribution on top of which the UL members will build their enterprise versions. On Fri, 6 Sep 2002, Waldo Bastian wrote:

Hello, we at uniteddiversity have started a new venture called OPN Technologies. We want to supply refurbished recycled computers to the social economy, pre-installed with SuSE Linux and lots of other good OS software (e.g. OpenOffice, Ximian Evolution etc). We have purchased SuSE 8 Professional, but I understand that not all of it is fully open source. To clarify the situation can someone please tell me what the legal rules concerning the pre-installation of SuSE on old machines to re-sell are, and how we would go about it without breaking any licences/laws? Thanks very much, Josef Davies-Coates uniteddiversity LLP 85 Ravenshaw Street London NW6 1NP e josef@uniteddiversity.com t 0845 456 9774 f 0845 456 9808 m 07764 75 99 70 uniteddiversity www.uniteddiversity.com info@uniteddiversity.com -----Original Message----- From: Roger Whittaker [mailto:roger@suse.co.uk] Sent: 11 September 2002 14:10 To: Waldo Bastian Cc: Matt Johnson; suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] UnitedLinux Just to confirm what Waldo has said: we will continue to release "the box" - i.e. SuSE Linux Personal and Professional - on an approximately six-monthly release cycle, while SLES will be "powered by UnitedLinux" with a longer release cycle.

Folks, I have two servers in a school (SuSE 7.2). I set one up a year ago, and the other this week. I've always been able to type the following command with success: mail johnsonmlw@yahoo.com < ./report.txt I use it to report to me nightly from a remote location. As far as I remember (a year ago) _all_ I did was setup the IP addresses of the DNS servers we use (ISP). But the same command doesn't seem to work on the second server, which has the same DNS settings, and is seems able to connect to everything it should (ie. it's seems networked correctly - I ssh'd into it from the other server, and then back again). I used YaST today and found a dialog that allowed me to say I wanted the 'from' line to be 'server2.school' when mailing. But the command above doesn't work. Has anyone got any ideas? Anything to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance -- Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

What happens when you try it from the command line - what error message do you get? If it is in a script/crontab check the logs. Have you setup sendmail the same on both. Can you send mail any other way from the same server? ____________________________________ Giles Nunn - ISP Officer Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01267 228277 Fax: 228275 ____________________________________

I am doing it from the command line too. No error message at the console, but I'll check the mail log (which I didn't know about) when I'm next in that school (next Wednesday).

Aaah. This could be key! I don't remember setting up sendmail last time at all, but perhaps I did. I cedrtainly haven't done it this time. How do I go about that? This is the only way I intend to use mail on the machine. I won't be reading emails - just want to send them for reporting things nightly to me. Thanks for the responses. I'll check the logs next week and report from there. -- Matt Johnson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
