Just noticed this cute test of it: http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?page=700 Also explains why it's TCO is so cheap. On top of that I can ad that if you buy toner-refill the costs in that area will fall dramatically . A little glitch though is that the first toner only prints 4000 pages, we all know where they gonna/wanna earn their bugs :) Johan 2006/3/4, Gil Weber <gil(a)gilweber.com>: > > > > > > > I'd back up choosing a printer with postscript Kyocera 1020D is my > current > > and it has been a charm since day one with SUSE 10 :) > > > > And it recently got rated top notch in a TCO test in a German magazine. > Oh > > the D will save you some paper too :) > > > > Johan > > > Johan, thanks for the reply.

by Chadley Wilson 04 Mar '06

Hi Guys, It official... windows is SPAM ..... :{ For weeks all my mail from outlook (long story) sent to this and other lists was being mark as spam, it had nothing to do with the servers and route the mail passed. Today short of a 4 pound hammer, I had enough and put Suse back where it belongs, likewise for WinspamXP (the bin) :) So now look 3 mails made it home to this list without being marked as SPAM. Cheers Happy Happy Happy Chadley

printconf-gui on SUSE?
by kevin.kempter＠dataintellect.com 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi all; I've recently moved from redhat/Fedora/Cent OS to SUSE 10. The one tool I really miss ids the printconf-gui, it made setting up any printer - even windows network printers dead simple and fast. Any thoughts on if I could install printconf-gui on my SUSE 10 box?

IPMI Hardware monitoring improved ?
by Schäfer Raumgestaltung 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hello, I'm using Suse 10.0 (KERNEL 2.6.13-15-SMP-x86_64) on Motherboard: Intel SE7320SP2 with mBMC PC87431M Sensorchip reading Sensor-data etc. with OPENIPMI requires the IPMI_SMB Kernel Driver which seems to be stripped from this Kernel ?! applying Patches to I2C_DEV, IPMI_DEVINTF, IPMI_SMB, I2C_IPMI, BMCSENSORS and recompiling the Kernel seems to work while using IPMITOOL but LM_SENSORS / BMCSENSORS provide wrong Values due to Changes in SYSFS and HWMON patching a SUSE kernel with 'Mainstream' patches hmmm...... My Questions: 1. does anyone know why IPMI_SMB was stripped ? 2. what about SUSE 10.1 .... any approvement in Hardware monitoring ? 3. any suggestions or Link to RPM's dealing with this problem any hints welcome Uli

It doesn't matter which you use, the difference is so dramatic that you don't even want to attempt writing a large file to a sync mounted pen drive. It's so bad that I consider it non functional and broken. When I mount manually, without sync, operation is normal and quick. Also, that patch works on my desktop system, but for some reason that escapes me, not on my ThinkPad.

Suse Linux Professional 9.3 x86_64 on IBM x336
by Tjia Bhie Kian 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi, I am having IBM x336 with 2 units of 3.0GHz 64-bit CPUs. I am trying to install Suse Linux Professional 9.3 x86_64 downloaded from ftp://suse.cs.utah.edu/pub/suse.com/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso. According to the README file in the above ftp, the DVD version contains 64-bit kernel and 32-bit kernels. During installation on IBM x336, there is no selection to choose the 64-bit ( the first installation page should show 'F6 64bit' selection). Once installation is completed, only the 32-bit is installed. 'uname -m' shows i686 instead of showing 'x86_64'. Has anyone ever installed Suse Professional 9.3 x86_64 on IBM x336 and managed to get the 64-bit kernel installed ? I have tried to install Suse Enterprise 9.3 x64_64 on the same IBM x336 and it does install the 64-bit kernel ('uname -m' shows 'x86_64'). Thank you. --------------------------------- Brings words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail - it's free and works with Yahoo! Mail.
