Wooh.... this is new... I am in the same situation that I have to run RedHat on my 2 sparcs... Nice to see SuSE has finally come to the party... Now I just have to see if I can convince Everything Linux (www.everythinglinux.com.au) to order it into Australia. (I'm still waiting for my i386 version of SuSE 7.0 to hit our shores.... Hopefully I will get it this week before the whole city shuts down for the Olympics *frown*) Cheers Nix At 06:28 PM 8/31/2000 +0200, you wrote:

Hello everyone, Please I realise this is off topic so please address your answers to me off list. Is there suse linux for sparc platform? I have a sparc box and suse is really my preferred distro so if it supports it I will be very happy to get it. Otherwise I have to use redhat.

pftp ftp.suse.com

Feel free to download and burn them: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/sparc/suse-us-sparc Roman. -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller // "Caution: Cape does | SuSE GmbH - Security Phone: // not enable user to fly." | Nürnberg, Germany +49-911-740530 // (Batman Costume warning label) | - -

erm I started downloading from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/sparc/suse-de-sparc yesterday. Am I right in assuming that the US version is still minus the crypto?

This is correct.

(I currently run the UK version of 6.4 which I was sent by your marketing dept in Germany :)

It should be possible to make the crypto stuff downloadable from ftp.suse.de within rather short time (please give me more than a few days: heads up for glibc+screen security update!). I'm afraid that there are more important things around these busy days...

Cheers
