I have a problem with the two openSUSE distributions (10.0 and 10.1). For more than ten years, now, I push Linux to users with little money, to be used on not so old computers, still perfectly working. It seems not to work anymore with SUSE Linux. My actual test PC is an Acer travelmate sub laptop. P233 (lack of power, but this is not the blocking part), 77Mo ram, 12Gb hard drive. this kind of machine can be found second hand, but on the range $150-$200, so not so low end. SUSE 9.1 runs perfectly on it, but is near the end of its support time. I'm pretty sure that the new SUSE Linux could run without problem, but they don't install... 10.1 is incredibly slow (250 Mb swap) and crashes on the "partitioning" part of yast. 10.0 is significantly faster but crashes in the same area, all this making install impossible (of course Ncurse version, not graphical ones). I'm sure I can install any Debian. I'm quite sure that a large part of the planet still use such computers. Two years ago, I had as own server a P160 with less ram and much less hard drive, it has been used for 3 years without any problem (SUSE 8.0) do we want to puch all these people out of SUSE world??? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
