[opensuse-project] HP Servers with OpenSUSE or SLES? Which ones?
Hello,
I am putting together a Demo for OpenSUSE and SLES for a Var meeting in
April. HP is providing the Hardware. They have requested for me to give
them info on the server's. They have requested part numbers. A quick
search of the HP site, did not give me which server's were know to work
with SUSE Linux or OpenSUSE. Does anyone know which Server's are the best
for Showing of Novell's version of Linux?
Thanks,

I forgot to mention, that HP likes to send the very latest. So often
drivers may not work. This is so we as var's can recommend the latest
Hardware from HP.

FOR SLES, you can use the YES certification search: http://developer.novell.com/yessearch/Search.jsp For openSUSE there's no such easy list AFAIK. I expect that a system running SLES 10 SP1, will run openSUSE 10.3 as well, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Andreas The reverse of this last statement is not true though. I have a fairly new machine I bought just before xmas. Clone using a ASUS P5K SE motherboard with onbaord SATA. I can get openSUSE 10.3 installed on it OK but SLES 10 SP1 does not recognise the Disk Controller during the install. Even following some information re forcing the Marvell driver to load did not work. So for very modern HW there is still some differences between SLES 10 SP1 and openSUSE.

I was carefull to only state the one direction as I did;-) - and know that both products have different kernel versions which means others changes. It might be that your system gets supported with the next SP. Just noticed this is on openSUSE-project. This is offtopic here, let's continue on the generic list (followup set).
