I hope the SuSE folk don't kill me for asking this, but I noticed the link to SuSE 8.0 info on suse.de, but not suse.com. Can we expect an English version soon? Judging from the few screenshots on the German site, it looks like yet another killer version! (YaKV?) ;^)

funny you based your statement on a screen shot of a box :-)

if you click on those little bars on the box, you can see screenshots.

Looks really interesting. Installation procedure in only three steps, if my german doesn't suck too much. I hope there's an "expert" mode :) Crypto filesystem isn't new, but it protects "laptops and harddrives", which is interesting. //Anders

Mandrake 8.2 maybe? And the fact that I've heard rumblings of a RH 8.0 ;) Prolly not but I'm just being silly anyway. * Jul (julog@sympatico.ca) [020310 16:31]: ->On Sunday 10 March 2002 18:57, you wrote: -> -> ->Why not 7.4 ? -> ->j -> -> ->-- ->To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com ->For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com ->Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the ->archives at http://lists.suse.com -> --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- "I've never been quarantined.

Here's what Google did to the German portion above the picture of the 8.0 box:

"Thus them look, the new 8,0 Professional, or at least nearly in such a way. For most user however becomes more important its, which is behind it which puts in it. In addition there are from now on regular views. Much fun!"

I wish I new German... ;^)

Ack! Babelfish should be renamed to Butcherfish :). Feel sorry for SuSE when that US company used Babelfish to translate an e-mail into German. Must have been caught between laughing or crying :). Matt Ps Yes generally better than nothing.

Hi guys'n'dolls, Couldn't help looking for the info myself, and here is my trans-wolfi-ation of the germaniac text, maybe slightly better understandable than the bablefish version:

So sieht sie aus, die neue 8.0 Professional, oder zumindest fast so. Wichtiger für die meisten User aber wird sein, was dahinter steckt, was drin steckt. Dazu gibt es ab jetzt regelmäßige Einblicke. Viel Spaß!

That's how the new 8.0 professional will look (or at least similar like that). More important for most of the users will be: What's inside? On this issue, we will have some closer looks from now on. Have a lot of fun!

Und die ganz "Aufgeweckten" können die neue 8.0 schon jetzt bestellen. Als Professional für EUR 79,90, als Personal oder Update für EUR 49,90, jeweils zuzüglich EUR 4,90 Versandgebühren.

For those who can't wait, you can order 8.0 already. As Professional for 80€ , Personal or Update is 50€. Port is five € in both cases. # I cheat you for ten €-Pfennigs.

Wenn da nur nicht eine kleine Frage wäre, die Sie vorher noch beantworten müssen. Wie heißt der aktuelle Systemassistent mit dem Sie SuSE Linux in weniger als 20 Minuten installieren können?

There's one little question left, which you gotta answer before: How is the current setup assistent called, which lets you set up SuSE Linux in less than twenty minutes? Cheers ...

Hi; What I should like to know is how it comes that I had some error messages from certain packages,refusing to install,during the install of the 7.2 Pro. I use an AMD 1200,512 MB SDRAM,Maxtor G 450 video,40GB WD. I suspect it has something to do with my Athlon. I heared there are still probs with linux support for AMD. While using the 7.2 Netscape,both 4.7 and 6.0 crashed. Am I right? Is the Athlon not well supported by Linux? Prob is,I bought the 7.2 and I do expect it to work.After all,I paid for it.

Linux is usually pretty reliable on Athlons, there is an occasional memory corruption bug on Athlon systems with AGP video that can be fixed by adding the parameter mem=nopentium to your lilo boot command line. This has been fixed in the latest kernels, (you might want to install a more recent kernel from the people/mantel directory on most SuSE ftp mirrors.) but this is a perfectly good work-around that gets rid of that problem without affecting performance much. Since it's an intermittant in nature problem (the only one I know of for Athlons) I doubt the fact you're running an Athlon is what is causing the bugs. -- Legalize free-enterprise murder: why should governments have all the fun?
