Okay okay okay................................. Stop for a moment! listen to you gentlemen.................... The point is that if you have been using linux for awhile you aren't using gnome or kde you are using one of the fast bastards like WMAKER, ICE and to leave out a few others..................these are quick and bloat free, which in my opinion was to get back to productive uses.............so redhat supports gnome and suse supports kde either of these fail when it comes time to using OPERA, MOZILLA for speed.............face the facts they arre heading towards the MS standards{I think it is the desktop}that makes a good thing after awhile.................
Strike 1: Compiling a vanilla Linux kernel v2.4.3 would leave the AIC7xxx Adaptec SCSI driver unusable on RH7
Well installing under suse is a joke w/AICXXX this time around............... the adaptec and the initrd_24 is all broken unless you install the /boot sector........ no go this time............. it makes an entry but no file so you have to boot from the cd and then go through the nightmare..................i compiled it in to the kernel and it now works modules are for people who can't make up there mind about hardware, and for the memory contious people.............who the hell on this list is pulling a serious server or gaming desktop on a frigging 486DEADHORSE anymore....................because your LYING! That's just one of the problems w/yast on installs look at the rest of the list you'll see there are more out there.................
3 strikes and RedHat is OUT! Game over, SuSE wins!
Suse doesn't win anything guy! if your for open code yast is not open, it is kind of proprietary software is it not sir! and be all honest about it, if you let yast do your configuration each time your in trouble so this mean that out of the box, it doesn't work all that well.........come on now be honest!
You think so... have you installed Redhat lately? Have you run into any of the issues that they have had regarding libs and version of code for some of the modules?
I have indeed installed the wolverine and it is fine................the one beta before and now the new redhat 7.1..................There is always going to be bugs here and there, last time I looked suse has a few of there own to deal with........................OR DID I IN FACT MIS THAT PARTY WHERE YOU GUYS WERE WALKING ON WATER.....................
Such as? So far I've done my two home computers with Yast1, and not a hitch. Updated both with yast1, and not a hitch. I ask because I might be missing something and the system isn't working right.
I was using suse71 on the aicxxx for an adaptec 29160 for the default install w/kernel 24 and it is all screwed up with the lilo /mbr this is a serious bug with the installer..............borrow an adaptec install 24, not 2.2.18 and it won't work........ you have to boot from the cd fixit and run lilo after it is compiled into the new 2.4.2 check for yourself Mike........................ I guess I will leave with this statement in mind......................I used them all at one time and found not one of them to be as easy to the end user as windows products........so in this linux fails to the newbies or the "I CAN'T GET THIS CROWD"............................ They all have problems, each and every distro out there.............it is just which ones are going to so easy for the user, then you bring this up again these 2 distros are getting very commercial in respect to the original linux variants of past...............THAT IS FACT! I use redhat and suse...............by the time I am done installing raw kernels and changes to the rc.sysconfig and to the rc.config and to both /init.d I truly do not use redhat or suse i use figging linux w my system configured the way I want it................I can't do this stuff on windows so I use Linux{Linux=same kernel in all} Thanx guys for that lively bout to let me put in my 2cents worth, your fellow linux friend........
