I'm Suse user since version 6.1, then migrating from "redhat" like ..
After dedicating this weekend to instal at first time Suse 8.0 ..
and REALY hate them !!!
First of all : instalation !
My test bed is a Pentium 150, motherboard VIA MVP3, 64 RAM .
more then enough to run a gateway/firewall to 30 or 40 machines .
Suse 7.2 ou 7.3 installs on them smoothly, in 1/2 hour ou less...
more 1/2 hour to setup deamons and firewall ...
well ... to install suse 8.0 I MUST setup a swap of 40 MB BEFORE
anything else ...
AND, to select correct set of packages, I spend 3 hours !!!
my "DMZ" selection ( from suse7.2/7.3 Yast1 ) are missing, I MUST
make a selection by hand and at EACH package that I cut/select
this machine "things" for about 1 minute before I can go to the next !!
What a hell are Suse developers thinking ?!?!?
I dont have time to waste !!! if they have, make Yast 2 USABLE or
get back Yast 1 ... or free Yast 1 to comunity proceed with development
!
But this is unaceptable !!!
And then ...when I will set up the deamons, the rc.config is put away
WITHOUT a equivalent replacement !!!
If I want to make this setup without tweeking ( the MAJOR reason that
I migrate from "red hat" like to Suse ) I MUST use AGAIN this great
peace of sheet called Yast2, and, I must remember run levels and other
things that I running awy from when migrate to Suse !!!
What a hell is this ?!?!?
involution ??? steps back ???
If Suse don't release a "Suse 7.4" with kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 or a
Suse 8.1 WITH Yast1 or MUCH MUCH more fast and friendly
Yast 2 I will stay away from Suse until now !! ( and my clients too !! )
Now I can undestand all msg from this list soon after 8.1 release !
This peaple are right !!! Ssue * and Yast 2 sucks !!!
