If you have hardware that falls outside the mainstream, then of course you need special software for it.
I suppose you could say the Kindle isn't mainstream, though it runs Linux, but many of the netbooks - not 10 years old - are running on SSDs and don't have the 160G to 320G of "mainstream" laptops.
Netbooks seem to be coming with 8G, 16G or 40G SSD.
It's been a while since I've done a full complete-with-gui openSUSE installation, but I seem to remember the installation summary usually ending up around 2.5-3Gb. My AMD64 workstation which I use for development has an openSUSE 10.3 install, with currently 10Gb of diskspace taken up. About 1Gb of that is miscellaneous source code in /usr/src, java and Adobe stuff take up some 1.3Gb in /opt, and I've no doubt got a pile of unneeded multimedia stuff.
I have a friend with a Eee 900 and he installed Mandriva on a 16G model without having to hack the dependency, runs KDE, T'bird, FF. Can that be done with openSUSE-11.0 while respecting the dependency?
I have not tried, but I would very surprised if not.
However, I do note that while MySQL and PostGres are plugins for Postfix, LDAP is compiled in, which is why its a dependency. This despite the documentation that openSUSE supplies mentioning that LDAP can be a plugin.
I've just installed a number of servers with 11.0 and postfix, and I didn't notice any LDAP dependencies - all I see installed is: ldapcpplib openldap2-client openldap2-devel yast2-ldap yast2-ldap-client /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
