This is good and useful advice. Thanks. I'll have a look at it. On the other hand, you do not address my complaints about the problems with yast{1,2}.
All I can do is forward them, I've nothing whatsoever to do with SuSE Linux development. I'm the major Oracle guy around here, that's all...
And as I go along, I'm noticing more and more problems, introduced with SuSE 7.0. Whoever concocted the idea of moving the package docs, for instance? All of a sudden /usr/doc/packages was empty, and everything
That's the LSB standard. In order to be compliant we had to move them.
Going from SuSE 6.4 to SuSE 7.0 is going to be a lot of work for me. So much that I'm considering sticking with 6.4 and just continuing to upgrade the kernel and any software SuSE provides on the ftp sites. The latter is an excellent service, as long as you ignore the web page listing the up- grades.
??? I'm also just a user - although one with @suse.de as email address - and I've always found those pages very useful. What is it you don't like about them? Anyway, I've just upgraded my machine as well, and don't see any difficulties. Of course, for a sysadmin with lots of machines and services that may look differently.
I wouldn't use APM on my servers. On the other hand, I find being able to shut klient machines _completely_ off with 'shutdown -h' very handy. I also hope to get support in apmd for suspending the monitor. For both of these things, as I understand it, the APM kernel is necessary.
