Hardware Question
by jon＠fl.net.au 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hi all, and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.... I'm about to take delivery, for a fairly cheap price, of an Ollivetti Netstrada 7000 server (5 x 4.3Gb SCSI drives, 256Mb ECC RAM, DDS2 tape, CD) in a very nice midrange tower with lotsa fans, cute front-opening doors, etc... Has anyone (especially the cogniscenti in Europe) had any experience with SuSE (I'm using 7.3) on this hardware ? Another guy bought one and said that Redhat, Mandrake and Debian all choked when he loaded them, and SuSE 7.3 was the only OS that would work on it (it's a QUAD PPRO 200 !!) Jon

SuSE 8.0 with KDE3
by Keith Winston 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I just read at the linux today web site about some of the features in SuSE 8.0, including KDE3. I thought KDE3 was still in beta. Is it stable and production ready or are they rushing it out the door? I haven't even upgraded to KDE 2.2. I know many people have had problems with 2.2 and the new qt library, having to downgrade qt to get good performance again. I am a big supporter of KDE and SuSE but I don't want to see something bad happen like when Red Hat shipped a custom and unstable gcc version.

Updating Sendmail and Apache
by gjmwalsh＠netscape.net 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I come from a UnixWare background. Running SuSE 7.3Pro with 8.0 now ordered for April delivery. Would like to use Sendmail 8.12.2 and Apache/mod_ssl 1.3.24/2.8.8 but there are so many tie-ins via rpm with Gnome and KDE and whatever that I was wondering if it is possible to cleanly remove the SuSE distributions and replace them with compiles from the source organizations? I gather I'd lose some functionality. Has anyone done this in the past? I even thought of using the rpm -U to update instead of recompiling, but SuSE rpms are not found where others commonly are - if they are available at all. FWIW, I am really rather impressed with the SuSE distribution. Overkill maybe, but then I don't come from a Windows environment and never did!!! Any insight would be appreciated.

My 8.0 Question
by Travis Owens 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Hello all! If this is stupid, please forgive my ignorance. I have been using SuSE since 6.3 and *love* it! It has been noted that Yast will not be in this release, but Yast2 is taking its place entirely. My only concern is to the ability to use the ftp site as a valid update/installation source. Yast did this exceptionally well, however I have not yet figured out: 1.) If Yast2 can do it!? 2.) If #1 == TRUE then HOW??!! :) This is pretty much my only concern for 8.0! (not that it would stop me from getting it... ;) ~T. I'm out of my mind right now, but please feel free to leave a message.

no orders through website
by Schelstraete Bart 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Why can't we order SuSE Linux from the website if you're living outside Germany??? SuSE has a nice website, which promotes their SuSE Linux , SuSE Linux Database server, SuSE Firewall,... perfect business solutions...;;but you can't order it through the website! Isn't this quite stupid? I always bought SuSE Linux through their website, because that's the only way I can purchase SuSE........now I have to download it, or copy it.... rgrds, Bart -- Schelstraete Bart Unix/Netscape Administrator bschelst(a)bru-hub.dhl.com * '"The Web succeeded because it had a better interface than gopher, not because it has a better interface than the Mac or Windows." -- Braden N.
