[S.u.S.E. Linux] S.u.S.E. and glibc2
I posted a mail like this last week, but I had a problem with my mailbox, and maybe I missed an answer... What about S.u.S.E. and glibc2 ? I guess that S.u.S.E. 5.2 still relies on libc5, so what are the plans for the future ? I'm tired of "red hat this, red hat that..." ;-) Pascal l'irréductible Linuxien -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
SuSE 6.0 will be glibc based. Go try redhat 5. It is horribly broken. I used it for three weeks, and I just couldn't take anymore. I am not slamming redhat, just saying that perhaps in being the first glibc based dist out the door they released a dist that simply wasn't ready for the public. The quality of SuSE continues to impress me daily, and this after 4 months of use. I have every confidence that when SuSE 6.0 does ship, it will be a better product than either of the other 2 glibc based dists that will be available at that time. SuSE rocks. Pascal Bleser wrote:

I'm not going to make this an OS war, but 5.0 is not horribly broken. Yes, there are updates that you need, but we've got plenty of 5.0 machines around here pulling some heavy load with no problems. The first public release of *any* OS with that radical of a change is going to have problems. All known problems of noticeable magnitude have been fixed, however. I'm sure SuSE 6.0 will be better than RH 5.0 in terms of stability. But they have *us* to thank for that...whoever did it first was going to face some problems.

My post wasn't an attack on redhat, merely the observations of a former redhat 5 user. Looking at your host mask I understand why you feel the need to defend redhat, but don't be so defensive. If you have read any of my previous posts you would know that I believe we all benefit by having several quality dists to choose from. I love SuSE, hence I subscribe to this mailing list to offer and recieve help related to this outstanding distribution, and as a general source of information I might not get otherwise. I was careful to mention that I wasn't attacking redhat. The last thing this mailing list needs is a flame war. Donnie Barnes wrote:

I wasn't intending to be very defensive, just point out some facts. You said that perhaps it wasn't ready for the public. Well, in the Linux community the public are the beta testers. That's just the way this model works. With something like glibc there is *no* way to test it without building a complete distribution on it. We certainly did do some pretty exhaustive testing on our own (including four public betas) and then we had to release. It's only after a real release that you get a full compliment of testing. Basically, my point is that you said it wasn't "ready for the public". That's just not right...at some point it has to go out. Look at the Linux 2.0.0 kernel for a prime example...Linus did everything humanly possible, but you just don't get the kind of testing you need until *everyone* tries it. Like the kernel, we have updates to fix the problems and now 5.0 *is* ready for the public. 5.1 will be even better. I'm not upset by what you said, I just wish folks would qualify things a bit more...you made it look like we did a poor job with 5.0. I don't feel we did even though I do agree there were problems that we would have rather fixed before they went out. But you don't know about them until mass testing happens. Note that I'm not comparing RH with SuSE in any of this. There is no need to...SuSE certainly does some very good work in the free software community and we at Red Hat appreciate it. I just didn't like the characterization of Red Hat. Trust me, we're all still friends here. This is Linux and the only way we'll beat our real enemy is by working together. --Donnie -- Donnie Barnes <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/~djb"><A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/~djb</A">http://www.redhat.com/~djb</A</A>> djb@redhat.com "Bah."

There's some talk about distributions; once agin while avoiding the holy wars, I have to give my 2 cents... ***SuSE*** is by far my favorite, reasons: 1-This list! Nice to have the heart of the company on the line here. 2-YaST+RPM. I don't know what I did without it! As simple as setup.exe. 3-SuSEwm, it has its faults, mostly remembering to patch a new config with the existing one... it's *vital* for surviving an X setup on half an hour a day plus weekends! :) 4-Very current. 5-PACKAGES!!! WOW! There's always more than you think! I really liked ***Slackware***, because: 1-Very granular, more so than any other dist. You *can* set up an old notebook in 100 MB of disk (and I have). I wish SuSE would break down packages a bit more... i.e. I don't want a full TeX distribution on a minor installation! How about the extreme basics with addons? Why are there QT demo programs when all I wanted was the libraries so I could run KDE? So on. 2-pkgtool is sparse but clever for such a primitive package format. 3-A Sunsite archive! Think of it; a basic offline mirror of a ftp directory, no promises or support, but hey you always find something new. I wouldn't trade this for the preconfigured packages of SuSE, but I'd replace the live file system with it. 4-It was my first distribution since Slackware 3.0, It came a --LoNG-- way since then! ***Caldera OpenLinux Lite*** 1-Installation!!! I loved the default setups (minimal, full, etc.) 2-Looking Glass was _very_ nice, intuitive 3-nice selection of packages even on the Lite dist. ***Red Hat*** (only a few minutes on a Red Hat machine) 1-Control Panel... clever! 2-coming up with RPM in the first place 3-nice selection of packages on the web site! (I show my ignorance by not saying more) That's all I've tried. I like them all :) I thought I would like Slackware less once I tried the preconfigured world of SuSE, but I don't. I still recommend SuSE the most, but I __love__ the small footprint of Slackware. Comments? --- jonathan@aracnet.net Finagle's Creed: Science is true.

You bet! I'm sort of new in the show, and my first try was (and indeed it still IS) slackware 3.4. I'm so satisfied with it, that I don't intend to change it, unless it's for a distribution with X11 3.3.2, and more apps. I guess the new version of SuSE is just like it, isnt it? Although I'd rather wait a little more, get really used to linux, XFree86, programming, and then I'll search for another distribution. Trying another in this case, will be mostly for experiencing purposes, as I said I like Slack. After all, as a friend said, all linux distributions are alike. they differ moslty in the installation process, as the kernel and the libs are the same for all.

you can add X11 3.3.2 to your slakware, you don't need to wait for a new version. As for differences .... I, too, started with slakware. And there is no comparison. With SuSE you can have a professional looking system, all menus created and updated for you, several window managers to choose from and still not have a clue how it works. This allows you to ditch win95 and learn about Linux in a much more graceful manner.Before I installed SuSE, my linux box was not very usable. I don't want to configure my menus by hand. I don't want to spend a week trying to install a new program. I want to use SuSE as my main OS, and learn bits and pieces as I see fit, not always 'I have to figure this out or it's unusable'. I don't want to say that SuSE is the only dist. for everyone. But you should try out a few so you know what the differences are. mc -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
I agree re:libs and kernel the same for all. I used S.u.S.e. Xserver, KDE libs, and QT libs in Slackware. I would NOT have had support for my Diamond Viper 330 AGP w/Riva128 in Slackware if it weren't for suse. Brian

Hi Donnie, I think you are totaly right, and we are thankfull that RedHat made the first step and relaesed a glibc based distribution. To find all the major and minor bugs a lot of 'real' installations have to be done and systems have to run in real world circumstances.

I believe Bodo said this summer, and there will also be an Alpha version for the first time too. Again, it wasn't my intention to attack redhat earlier. They are to be applauded for providing Alpha and Sparc versions of their distribution. The linux world would be much poorer without redhat's prescence. Chad - DIAC wrote:

The quality of SuSE continues to impress me daily, and this after 4 months of use. I have every confidence that when SuSE 6.0 does ship, it will be a better product than either of the other 2 glibc based dists that will be available at that time. SuSE rocks.

What about S.u.S.E. and glibc2 ? I guess that S.u.S.E. 5.2 still relies on libc5, so what are the plans for the future ? I'm tired of "red hat this, red hat that..." ;-)

Hi, all! We are on an 'every 4 month' release schedule, which can vary depending on how worthwhile it is to bring out a new release. The plan is to have an August release of 6.0 (5.3?) Cheers! James
