Re: [SLE] new v9.2 is out
Does anyone know factually about another post where 9.2 requires at least 256 MB RAM? I'm also curious about NVidia drivers - I've got a TNT2 chipset. Morphix is running on that box, due to my inability to figure out the right settings for SUSE 8.0 Pro Thanks, Don ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: Re: [SLE] new v9.2 is out Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 21:39:26 +0100 From: Dylan <dylan@dylan.me.uk> To: suse-linux-e@suse.com On Wednesday 06 Oct 2004 20:58 pm, Randall R Schulz wrote:

X.Org 6.8.1
Indeed. x.org rocks, and is a delight to use on FreeBSD. I am looking forward to this release with eager anticipation.
What's the big deal about this new implementation of X?
IIUC, there is a philosophical (and maybe practical commercial) problem with the licence for the new XFree86. X.Org is backed by Sun, IBM, HP, SGI, and others; whereas XFree86 is a community based project. Thus, X.org has clout with OEMs for obtaining hardware info, clear development goals, and credibility with (potential) corporate users. X.Org is also the body responsible for maintaining the X11 standard, their implementation is, therefore, most likely to implement it correctly and accurately. Dylan
Aside from knowing that X underlies all the GUIs on Linux, I'm not aware, on a day-to-day or moment-by-moment basis, of its effects on my "user experience." On the other hand, KDE vs. Gnome, e.g. (or any other choice of desktop environment or simple window manager) is something one is quite aware of and cannot really fail to notice or ignore.

According to the web site 128 required, 256 recommended. But of course you knew that when you looked for yourself. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

And anyone determined enough can get it running in 64. Which is all that's required for simple applications like firewalls. Same as all late releases of SuSE. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
