[SuSE Linux] Difference between SuSe 5.3 and RedHat 5.2?
by larry.yates＠compaq.com 05 Jan '99

05 Jan '99

Hi, I've investigated both SuSE 5.3 and RedHat 5.2. I know each distribution has its own set of tools, but what particularly make SuSE vs RedHat? What are the internal differences? Do they depend on their own specific directory structures? If so, how do they differ? How compatible are they? For instance, LILO works OK with RedHat, but SuSE's LILO emits error 0X01's. The LILO.CONF's are identical and the kernal placement is identical. Why can't the same lilo.conf work for either distro? LILO itself is the same version...

[SuSE Linux] [SUSE] Problem : enlarging a partition/filesystem
by gh＠simteam.com 05 Jan '99

05 Jan '99

<PRE> Hi guys, I am newbie ( 2 month to Linux) I installed SUSE 5.3 and Linux is so cool I decided to enlarge my Linux Partition. I reduce the size of a FAT32 partition using PM 3.0, so now I have a part of my HD which is unpartitionned. I'd like to extend my Linux partition to use that space. I guess PM4.0 can do it but I cannot ask my office to upgrade in order to help with my home system :) I found something about resize2fs but the package I downloaded for this, needs an other package, which I cannot install because it's incompatible with already installed packages for ext2. I don't want to reinstall just for this ( I'm not using window$ so it should not be necessary :) I don't want to create another partition (another filesystem to mount) Any input will be appreciated thanks in Advance Best regards GH Portefait -- "Computers are like air conditioners - they stop working properly when you open Windows"</PRE> <A HREF="bin00005.bin"> S/MIME Cryptographic Signature</A></P>

I wouldn't get an error, it just didn't do anything. This is console FTP. But when I tried ftp.suse.com it worked like a charm. I did fix it though.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Database programing tools & Net Mgmt

john, I am interested in you net mgmt work in perl... do you expect to publish anything on this? dc ---------- From: John vanVlaanderen To: samelash(a)ix.netcom.com; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Database programing tools Date: Friday, January 01, 1999 1:49PM Hi Samy (et al), I am big net management specialist mostly advertising me-self as a perl engineer. The art of management is really achieving the balance of gut reaction with careful statistical analysis. To achieve this I created a perl OO dataserver which really holds complex structures of chunks of data, performace data goes in daily chuncks, configuration data is divided into boxes, devices, or if convienent, whole domains. I works suprisingly well since a single ineffiecent call is more efficient that a vast number single value calls; an OO db will use one, two, maybe a dozen calls. I scaled it to use performance data, fine tuned so many hugely expensive machines that it wrecked so many egos that I felt almost guilty, (not really :) Honestly, perl seems to have reached a point of diminishing returns. I am going to put finishing touches on my server, implement it in a production environment and then... Switch over to a product called Jasmine. Owned by Computer Associates, it will probably never be ported to Linux. But none-the-less, I am certain it was once its own startup, and their technology can very easily be replicated as that is the major strength of Java. Anyway, since you mentioned being beg-intermed in db's and interested in Java, I thought I would mention this to you. Also I an working on a startup business to create that elusive $200 thinclient, progress has been slow lately mostly because of perl problems and the flu.

Re: [SuSE Linux] VFat with 2.1.0
by k01164＠ko.hhs.dk 05 Jan '99

Upgrade from 2.0.36 to 2.1.0? That is NOT an UPgrade. You should know that when talking version of the linux kernel, the numbers are a bit odd to the uninitiated. Versions with even minor numbers are for most normal users, whereas versions with odd minor numbers are for development use (ie. don't use these unless you know what you do!) At any one time there is both a current 2.0.x and a 2.1.x kernel. When the 2.x.x series started 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 were the "current" kernels. Now the versions are 2.0.36 and 2.1.(some number around 130) When the new 2.2.0 kernel gets out for real, the development kernel will also change numbers to 2.3.0. I would recommend you stick with the 2.0.36 until the 2.2.0 is ready.
