There are a couple of "Things" I am hoping to achieve in the near future, and would appreciate any foreknowledge of matters regarding.
1. We are standardised on D-Link DFE-530TX NIC's (10/100Mbps, PCI) Are they actually supported under SuSE 6.3, or am I going to have to kludge the SCO drivers to suit (or find someone more competent than I)?
Yes: it is supported. There is a supported hardware database on our web site where you can check these kind of things.
2. I intend to try SuSE on systems with the Evergreen (MX Pro) upgrade (original AMD chips are long-dead)- they are aught to work with the recent kernel revs., but are there any long-term issues I might like to know about?
Should be OK as far as I know.
3. We have a number of slim-line systems (486) with restricted resources (small HDD and tight memory limits - 30pin simm, to 16MB max.)
I want to run Linux on these, but cannot fit a sensible set of parts in them - is there any thin-client software which would allow these (or even some ANCIENT 386 nimbuses) to run as graphics terminals a-la Citrix (Winframe)?
Have a look in the HOWTOs for the diskless howto and consider setting up `diskless X-terminals'. -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger@suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------
