Not even plain servers worked. Mostly because they use the cheapest of the cheapest components, without assuring linux compliance.
Thats not been my experience. I've put SLES on a couple different classes of Dell Poweredge servers and I thought they were very will built machines. Everything worked. The SLES was purchased from Dell along with the machines. But laptops or desktops pre-installed with Linux are what this article deals with, not so much servers. I just installed 10.2 for an engineering firm with dual 20inch Flat panels onto a Dimension 9200 with a high-end core 2 duo processor. Its an awesome machine, and it all works just fine. In fact it drives the 20 inch monitors better than XP does. Of course I had been thru the ATI knothole a few times. This is the one thing that will get ATI to clean up its act. Linux users can bitch all day long, and still amount to 1% of the market, but when Mike Dell calls up AMD and tells them he has to have working Linux drivers that will install cleanly under linux you can bet he will get them/ -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
