Hi All Suzy Linux Users, I have SuSE Linux running on a w1100z after a very easy install. I only have SuSE running, so I don't have any experience with partitions. But I wanted to inform the interested the community that SuSE9.1 installs easily on the w1100z. I am using the 64 bit version, of course. After a couple weeks of heavy use, there appear to be no issues associated with the switch to 64 bits with the possibile exception of a couple of terminal settings that only caused problems when using PAM authentication over SSH. SSH is fine otherwise! PAM never works anyhow. To fix this very small problem, I compliled a seconary SSH client on a purely 32 bit linux machine and copied it to my 64 bit machine. As the OS was designed to run 32 bit applications, it ran without a hitch. Applications are running very fast, but the boot time is slow. I have found that boot times with the best hardware is generally slow (RS6000 take > 5 minutes to boot.) Anyhow, if anybody has any problems with the w1100z and SuSE you can try and email me and maybe I can help you. The one last thing that was an issue: I had a difficult time starting the w1100z after plugging it in! The work around was to wake the machine up by manually ejecting the dvd/cd-rom disk tray with a paper clip. DO THIS ONLY IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER START UP FIRST. AND IF YOU DO THIS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE INSERTING THE PAPERCLIP IN THE CORRECT APERTURE FOR MANUAL CD-ROM TRAY EJECTIONS. If you are having start up problems, it is unlikely that it is the same issue that I had, so follow the correct start up procedures first! -Andy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
