(SLE) Off Topic.....Questions about SUSE & Red Hat

From: "Shane Broomhall" <shanebroomhall(a)computer.org> Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 10:35:39 +1000 Message-ID: <000501c058d3$69cc14e0$34958ec6@ShaneBroomhall> Subject: (SLE) Off Topic.....Questions about SUSE & Red Hat Hi all, My name is Shane Broomhall from Australia. I am considering my future direction in the computer industry. I have decided to get serious and learn a version of Linux. I am already familiar with Unix (Solaris). It is a toss up between Red Hat and SUSE. I have been happier with SUSE when it installs on my laptops. I have had a look through the documentation that comes on the CD. I am finding myself more impressed with SUSE over Red hat. Several problems I have are: SUSE does not have a presence in Australia, Red Hat does. There are dozens of Red Hat books and guides, very few on SUSE. I would appreciate it if some of you would be able to give me a comparison of the 2 flavours, on the understanding that I am already leaning towards SUSE. I am planning offer installations and support as a part of my business, but only once I know the product. I would be particularly interested in hearing of how widely is SUSE used in the business world, What kind of companies, and of any known big unsolvable problems with SUSE or Red Hat. I am also interested in finding any specific SUSE documentation that may be hidden out there. Thanks in advance Shane Broomhall shanebroomhall(a)computer.org

Hi all, I've got Wvdial working, very easy, very nice. I do have one problem with it. I can only run it from root. When I set up my user account I gave it access to the modem. But when I try to run WVdial from user I get --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied It works fine under root. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

[OT] Solaris OS detection

Does anybody know how to identify whether the 32-bit of the 64-bit version of Solaris was installed? Also, do the Kernel number (Generic_something) change between them? We suspect one of our servers (controlled by another department) was installed with the wrong version... Thanks in advance Kind regards Guy

It was aCompac Pressario with a 233 MHz processor. All hardware modules were the original cards mounted by Compac. Setup failed to install the PS2 mouse correctly, the internal modem couldn't be detected (tried Yast2 yast1 and KPPP). The sound chip was unknown. I don't want to make a big case out of it, but of course if anyone has usefull experiences with the mentioned kind of PC, advices are welcome. Thanks in advance. Niels
