Fwd: [SLE] Do you buy the boxed set this time around?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kanak Changela <kanak.changela(a)linsoftindia.com> Date: Apr 4, 2006 7:23 PM Subject: RE: [SLE] Do you buy the boxed set this time around? To: Harikrishnan T <t.harikrishnan(a)gmail.com> Dear Sir, Manuals are not included in boxes which are shipping in Indian Market. I Had came across your posting in SUSE List as I had also subscribed there. I had replied there also. All the Suse 10 and Novell Linux Desktop 9 boxes which are shipped in India from Onward Novell, it does not include any manuals. With Regrds Kanak Changela ------------------------------ ** Strange are the ways of Novell. Recent Novell press release for SUSE 10.1also talks about a users's manual. Is this too a method to give Red Hatish look to SUSE? Bye

evolution and spamassasin
by Andreas 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi yall, I'm using evolution as my email client and every time it starts, two instances of spamd show up in the tasklist. Now this wouldn't bother me, but spamd allocates a huge amount of memory (a total of > 50 MB) and I don't get much spam email anyway. Is there some way to start evolution without spamd? Grüße Andreas

Hello, I am a new linux user and I am currently running NLD9. I recently upgraded some packages through red-carpet which were critical and now I have noticed that when any user log's into my system including myself, they receive the following error: user@linux:/home/user1> ssh -X linux1 Password: else: endif not found. Directory: /home/user1 Fri Apr 7 10:32:38 PDT 2006 I have looked everywhere but cannot figure out why we are receiving the "else: endif not found." error everytime we login. Any help would be greately appreciated. Thanks in advance, -Jagga

udev in 10.1?
by Shriramana Sharma 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Dear developers, I hear that udev is the replacement for /dev and it's the latest. Do we have this in 10.1? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-07 W14-5 UTC+0530

Why not X.org 7.0?
by Shriramana Sharma 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Dear developers, I heard 10.1 will contain X.org 6.9, but seeing as 7.0 is going to be the branch for future updates, why did we not choose to use 7.0? Fedora Core 5 uses 7.0 so that's a proof-of-possibility, right? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-07 W14-5 UTC+0530

Installation Sources - Recommendations?
by wmeler 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

I forgot to copy down my list of servers and installation sources before upgrading to SuSE 10.0 (sigh). Could everyone give me their recommendations and where they're at? Also, for the true pros out there, could you recommend the order of installation sources in my list? I assume somebody will ask what I prefer in terms of stable vs. bleeding edge...and I'd have to say I prefer the stable stuff leaning towards bleeding, but hopefully never actually causing pain or bleeding. :) Thanks in advance! -- Cheers, wmeler
