SuSE gave up on us a long time ago.

SuSE did not give up on us, they just dont think its profitable to do a PowerPC Distribution... You know what, I think you are right, they gave up on us !!!! :((

Will SuSE 7.3 (2.4.18 Kernel) run on new PPC G5? (64-bit IBM Power PC 970 "G5" 1.6 GHz Processor[NL])

I need this information before we buy this machine... If anyone has any information, please let me know ...

Thank you, Leo

So, what makes you think they haven't? What part of your comment means they are still with us? #(step up on soap box) #Where are they? 7.3? That was 11/20/2001. To me, that is bailing. #I am not the only one I know that doesn't download the stuff, we buy the CD's. It's easier and that way we #support the company. I am going to put Linux on a PC I built... but not SuSE. Anything but SuSE. They #bailed on the PPC, so I'm going some other vendor. *(OT-I did the same thing when QuickBooks Pro #bailed...they stopped developing for the mac...but that's for another list) # #Have you tried calling tech support? I tried to instal SuSE on a B&W 350, and a 8550 w/Sonnet G3 card. #Wouldn't "find" the disk. I called them... just to get into phone hell... If you follow the apple OSX and ASIP #server lists, there are quite a few people that have gone over to linux. No one can recommend SuSE any #more. Shoot, thats what I tried to do. Finally just bought OSXS 10.2. Yea, I have a few linux books. For some #reason they are not helpful with netatalk. Shoot, two or three of them don't even mention it. # #I think I did get it to install once. Couldn't find any GUI with netatalk. Even did a "full install". I found simba #config. but nothing for any kind of GUI for a apple file server. # #Yellowdog got a large contract to put Linux on a bunch of xservers for the US navy. That should say #something, when they come with apple's OS. # #Like I said, show me what makes you think they haven't bailed on us? #(step down) George
