[opensuse] hosted server
I seek to host a server here: http://www.kimsufi.com/ this is a less than €24 ($30) a month hosting with small power HW, but quite large disk. They propose among many the openSUSE 10.2 However I have a question (I ask them also & wait for the answer): it seems to be necessary to use they own kernel. How may this rely with security updates through Yast? is it possible to automatically ask yast to don't update kernels, is it also possible with 10.2 to have updates keep the old boot kernel as defaults I could fix later? I ask here because it may be a more general question that it seems and hosted computers at this price have to be more and more frequent thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi jdd it is unusual that they require their own kernel. This would make me suspicious - is it dedicated hardware or is it virtual?

It's a very low price, but also a relatively low-end processor. The important question is - how much do you have to pay for bandwidth and how is it measured? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

probably hardware (you can have usb drive)

it's 100Mb free symetric all this is much more than what I have with my old server on my dsl line :-) one can buy one for as little as one month, so I did and will make a try. already, for software install, the speed is amazing :-))) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
