I think I have never taken Slashdot very seriously... I am not sure it was ever meant to be "serious".. ?

Java Development on SuSE 7.0
by napi5 29 Jan '01

Hi, Is it worth using Sun's jdk1.3 on SuSE 7.0 or are the bugs and speed really that bad? Seems most people are going with the IBM 1.3.What are the major differences between the Sun's and IBM's versions? Thanks, Robert Napolitano

Re: [SLE] 7.1 release date

www.amazon.co.uk Click on the "software" tab then Click on the "Linux" link in the menu bar. Right now they have SuSE 7.0 featured right on the front page of the software section. If all else fails use the search (duh :-) ). You are going to wait for 7.1 to be out aren't you? ;-) Here's the direct link to the SuSE 7.0 Professional page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004Y5AD/202-9812414-4119030 It only cost me $75.00 USD, which is less then some places here in the US were charging for it. There was no question or extra charge to ship it to me here in Texas.

Dear all, after setting a route with: route add default gw 172.a.b.c how do I tell SuSE to use it after a system reboot? Must I do it using YaST (where?) or is there a plain-text file that I can edit? Thanks, Martin

Re: [SLE] [OT] AMD K6-2
by Guy Van Sanden 29 Jan '01

Thanks to everyone. I thought that, considering the specs of my motherboard, it should have worked... (maybe I'm wrong about it). But I discovered that Intel put a detection routine in the bios, that refuses to boot if a non-intel processor is installed... so goodbeye AMD... A good warning to everyone, NEVER buy a motherboard (or alike) from Intel, they're just as bad as MickeySoft...

SO question.
by Fred A. Miller 29 Jan '01

29 Jan '01

This has bugged me for sometime, but after today, I'm a tad more incensed about it. I have the Lexmark Z52 working well, EXCEPT when you have to print in landscape mode in StarOffice. SO, FOOLISHLY, has it's own printer setup, and drivers....it would seem. Is there any way to get SO to work with the system defined driver, in this case lexmarkz52?!!
