If you find features lacking in SLES but which are in SUSE Linux we definitely want to hear about it, to improve upon our SLES package set. (Of course for some of those we might have decided already not to include it, but in general...)
Lets have a look, find all ".rpm" files in the 9.3 suse directory = 7493 find all ".rpm" files in SLES9 including all service packs = 4099 find all ".rpm" files in SLES9 CORE and SLES9 SLES = 2384 No wonder I am forever borrowing packages from 9.3 to overcome shortcomings of SLES9. Usually it's a missing package; dovecot, OpenPBS, Sometimes it's to update a package; eg: the SLES9 GD libraries aren't adequate to install bioperl. so I have to install GD from 9.3, then update the perl wrappers using CPAN. I'm so used to not finding a SLES9 version I would be looking for a solution to providing updates to the OpenSuSE components within a SLES install. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 No matter how much you pay for software, you always get less than you hoped. Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
