But observe that the personal edition came about because so many people said the sheer number of packages in the SuSE distribution was frightening to newcomers. A newbie to linux doesn't compile software, he doesn't run servers, he doesn't need 2^25 text editors etc, etc, etc.
I guess the people who bought the personal edition and then complain about the lack of, for example, development libraries should have read a bit more before buying. I guess they thought it was just a low cost version of the standard dist.

I thought it would allow me to replace what I am doing in WindowsME, act as the gateway to the internet for one or two other PC's and share files and the printer. I do have it that the other WindowsME PC's can access the internet through my SuSE8.0 box, but how can I share files and the printer? Do I understand it correct I need Samba for not, not the client which is included in the Personal edition but the server? When I bought the package I thought I didn't need to run a server. -- Frits J. Wüthrich (Sent with Kmail)
