Hello suse users, I am a current redhat 5.0 user and have been debating changing over to suse I have been using linux since the days of the 1.2 kernel. I started with slackware and switched to RH5.0 last December. I have been mostly happy with RH5.0 and considered upgrading to RH5.1, but the rh list has been filled with woes of upgrading. I have heard good things about suse. that is why I joined this list. I wanted to get a feel for the number and kinds of problems suse users are encountering. I am trying to pick the best distribution for my home, but also for work. we are considering changing our internet server from sco to linux. any former rh 5.0 users out there? what are your opinions of suse? any opinions are welcome. thanks. ___________________ Jt - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I'm quite happy with my move over to SuSE 5.1 from RH 5.0, although I don't have anything real negative to say about RH, (minus disk druid) the move to SuSE was a good thing. I've used SCO, ESIX, Xenix and a old pre-1.0 of Caldara and then went to OS/2 for quite awhile. Then came DOS Windows 3.x, 95, and NT. I just got back into the U*ix os with RH in March, and switched to SuSE in April. I'm very happy, although the initial brain fry from reading everything I could get my hands on, (including the sendmail book from O'Reily) was a tad bit stressing. ;-) Ahhh, life is good! Tonight I just got Wine working, previous week was a DNS server and qmail. (amazing how much one "." can screw you up with DNS!) Next is xboing. (ya can't work ALL the time!)

I qualify for a former RH user since I used RH since 2.0 thru 5.0/5.1. Please do not start a RH vs.SuSE e-mail bomb on this list though, as that's not what this list or redhat-list is about. SuSE has it's issues as other Linux versions. It also has advatages but there relative to the user as all versions of Linux has adavatges. For the price, buy a copy of 5.1 or wait for the glibc version coming out, but either way it's a different version than RH or the others, and will speak for it itself. Personally, I have no issues at all, as it works to good to complain.

Hello suse users,
I am a current redhat 5.0 user and have been debating changing over to suse
I worked with RH 4.2 and Slackware 3.0; SuSE is the has the easiest and most intuitive setup/install/configurations.
any opinions are welcome. thanks.
SuSE has a setup util called YaST and it's pretty straight forward if you understand what it's doing. Since you have RH experience, then you'll appreciate what SuSE has to offer. I am running SuSE 5.2 right now. I use SuSE's kernal source. The problem with SuSE is that it does so much for you, that if you ever have to get down to lower level hacking, you can easily get lost to what's placed where (every distribution likes to their config files in differant places...) I haven't met anyone that was honestly dissappointed.
