[SLE] Dell PowerEdge with PERC/2

Hi all, I want to know your experiences with installing SuSE Linux on a Dell PowerEdge server with PERC/2 RAID controller board. There is no article in the SDB and I came up blank with my search on Dell or SuSE sites. If someone has done an installation from scratch I would like to hear about it (in detail).

[SLE] 6.4 comment
by ben＠whack.org 05 May '00

05 May '00

The only thing I have found so far that doesn't work right under 6.4 is Quake 3. I have tried it with OSS sound off and on. It doesn't seem to matter. I am not a big gamer so I don't know what the problem would be..maybe GLX?? Under 6.3 it rocked..but no matter what I try it doesn't seem to want to move above a crawl...any suggestions would be helpful.

iI'm sure that most people here have heard of direcpc. I however would like to know if it is possible to integrate this type of internet connection with Suse Linux 6.3. I sorta hate the standard 56 kb/s line that i have, and t1 or t3 is too expensive here in jamaica. thnx for any replies. ********************************************************************** This e-mail and any attachment contains information which is private and confidential and is intended for the addressee only.

[SLE] who logged in?
by novo＠uiuc.edu 05 May '00

05 May '00

Hi, Is there a command that will tell me who logged in into my system in the last 24 hours (or, last n days, say)? Or, is there a command that tells me when each user last logged in? I did my "homework," but couldn't find such a command in my books. I looked into /var/log/messages, but that's cumbersome.
