I have felt the same frustrations. I have found that it ended up being the previous version didn't push the hardware to its fullest extent because its too new and so did just the bare minimum, and worked. Then when the next release comes out, it is more mature and able to push the hardware to the extent it was designed for which Ended up finding a problem that was there all along. Like if you buy an expensive, high-torque transmission and put it behind a 4-banger. Then upgrade finally to a full blown race engine and the tranny doesn't work any more. It probably didn't work in the first place, you just didn't know it because you weren't pushing it to the limit until you matched it with the big engine. Personally, I've found this list to be much more helpfull than the phone support. Thanks guys B-) On Tuesday 16 November 2004 12:57 pm, Alex Daniloff wrote:
<Flame Shields ON> Richard, If you red my original description, it stated that I've test installed 64-bit SuSE 9.1 on the same machine without any problems. What the hell is going on with 9.2? We've already bought over 25 sets of SuSE 9.2 Pro (Update) for all our eng. dept. I won't be able to justify to our purchasing dept. your option/proposition to buy another 25 sets of more expensive SLES9 for all our computers, to achieve virtually the same functionality. 9.2 shall work on our 64 bit platforms as it advertised! End of story!
Since we're all entitled for 60 days installation support we'll have to bug and create living hell for Novell/SuSE support staff in order to resolve this problem.

Not sure "Why the flames?". I just offered Alex another option (SLES 9), in the event he could not get SuSE PRO 9.2 working. He seems to have taken it personally. We should all move on - he's obviously not open to this option. Hopefully someone can help him solve his 9.2 problem. - Richard

This is a typical commercial pitch I would expect from MS or other corporate drones. A bunch of meaningless buzz words used out of content. Are you a sales person by the chance? What kind of crap you're talking about? Why do I and our other engineers need 5 years maintenance? What is a maintenance? Blow dust from our boxes?
Security updates. Emergency bug fixes. Have you heard the phrase "end of life" before?
Why do we need all these certifications if we know what we're doing?
If you have to ask that, you don't
What is "enterprise-class hardware" you're talking about. We're designing circuits which used anywhere - from your cell phone to jet fighters. You can make any hardware to be an enterprise-class. What is "mission critical"? A nuclear plant or a ballistic missile?
A system your business relies on for its existence
Why reinstall every two years instead of simply upgrading systems to the next version? What kind of bull shit is this?
You don't know a great deal about maintaining reliable systems, do you
