(despite knowing SuSE is nicer) Thanks for you reaction but I don't think I will repost under a different heading. There have only been 2 reactions from the hundreds(thousands?) of list followers so I do not think they find the subject very interesting. Personally I don't know what to think. I like SuSE, I like RedHat and next month I will also be trying out Debian. I don't think I am willing, at this time, to make any definite choice. They all have nice and irritating features. And I don't think there is any reason, at the moment, to switch from one to the other (except 'personal compatibility and taste' reasons). But it is quite possible that if agreements on a Linux standard base are not reached and implemented we might find that the minor discrepencies between the distributions which occasionaly cause some irritation when switching between distributions might become gradually less minor. I have no idea what the consequences will be. But such a situation might necessitate a definite choice. You might like to look at the pronouncements of RedHat's Bob Young, see: <A HREF="http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-01/lw-01-thesource.html"><A HREF="http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-01/lw-01-thesource.html</A">http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-01/lw-01-thesource.html</A</A>>, on 'balkanization' of Linux. I think they are woolly and not very convincing because he only adresses the 'larger' picture and not the nitty gritty of existing differences. See also a differing view by Ian Nandhra: <A HREF="http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1998-10/lw-10-thesource2.html"><A HREF="http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1998-10/lw-10-thesource2.html</A">http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1998-10/lw-10-thesource2.html</A</A>>, but he stresses the libc-glibc difference too much, the one difference that in the short run will disappear (or become irrelevant).

[SuSE Linux] IRQ for eth1

Hi! When I boot linux (SuSE 5.3, kernel 2.0.35), eth1 is listed as using an IRQ of 9. That's what the card is set for. But when I run ifconfig. it shows eth1 as using an irq of 10. Is ifconfig detecting a conflict, and making its own workaround? I can certainly set the card to use IRQ 10, if there's some sort of conflict. It seems to work, as far as I can tell.

[SuSE Linux] Toshiba Libretto
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 07 Feb '99

07 Feb '99

Hi All; A friend was given a Toshiba Libretto with a broke screen. Someone dropped it :(. It's running Windows CE. As soon as we can fix it we want to put Liunx on it. (I hope) There are two problems with it. First when he starts it up it demands a password. This password seems to be in the BIOS. Without it the whole computer locks up. Does anyone know how to get around this? It seems to be wanting the password before it even boots W$ CE. Next, does anyone know where to get a replacement screen for a Libretto, and what it costs? We got it from a guy who got it from the first owner, so the password is completely gone. :( TIA!

No, sorry... if they are really for those machines, then the code isn't even Intel code and thus cannot be run on Linux/Intel. I'm not sure of a free COBOL compiler for Linux. I know AcuCOBOL has a version for Linux, but they are *not* cheap (www.acucobol.com) Deskware (www.deskware.com) DOES have a Linux COBOL, but I have NO idea how good it is.

[SuSE Linux] Beowulf clusters with SuSE software?
by alex＠physical36.chem.ufl.edu 06 Feb '99

06 Feb '99

Dear friends, I have been using and playing with SuSE 5.3 (off of the ftp server) for the past half year or so and am planning to get an official 6.0 package soon (as soon as the SuSE-USA folks can get me an e-mail quote for the purchasing department of my university, but that's a different story ...). What prompts my post to the list right now is the following message which was forwarded from a friend here at UF: --- SuSE will introduce a line of Linux cluster systems at CeBIT Feb 4th, 04:08:28 An Alpha Linux distribution will also be released soon. by Dwight Johnson According to the German news service, Heise.de, SuSE is expanding its products with a line of Linux cluster computer systems named SALT (SuSE Advanced Linux Technology) which will be introduced at CeBIT in Hannover March 18-24. Products of the SALT line will be custom built as complete solutions to serve the requirements of higher education institutions and industrial research and development divisions. According to Richard Jelinek of SuSE, the software cluster technology is open-sourced and based on the same techniques and tools as Beowulf but adapted to the SuSE distribution node management and extended with some more applications. Jelinek went on to tell Linux Today that SuSE's Linux distribution for Alpha (the AXP-distribution) will also be introduced at CeBIT. This will be a product of its own. When this distribution is stable, AXP-Clusters will be added to SuSE's product line. SuSE Linux for the Alpha processor will be released soon after CeBIT. --- This news is quite interesting to me since together with a couple of friends we are trying to set up a Beowulf cluster here at UF, that will eventually consist of a cluster of about 16 486's (see <A HREF="http://florida.linuxusers.org/beowulf.html"><A HREF="http://florida.linuxusers.org/beowulf.html</A">http://florida.linuxusers.org/beowulf.html</A</A>>). We would like to seriously look at the SuSE cluster software package for our application, particularly if it turns out to be more advanced and/or more adaptable than the RedHat packages. I guess, my questions to the list and the friendly SuSE-folks who are listening are the following: 1. What are the experiences with the existing SuSE Beowulf packages that come with SuSE 5.3 and 6.0? In particular has anybody tried to parallelize a couple of 486's using them? 2. Where can we get more info on the software that will run on the SALT line of servers? In which respects does it differ from the already available Beowulf packages? 3. Is there any information yet about the cost of the software/support package?
