Hi list.
I am turning to the list for some help.
I have been with Red Hat since 5.2 release. All I have read on SuSE is convincing me that this is a superior product. I have an upgrade path for my business, which is primarily concerned with migrating all Windoze platforms to Mac OS X. That is another issue and one that is well in hand.
We still are committed to using Linux for the back end MySQL server and mail router. We are trying to decide to do Red Hat again or switch to SuSE. I am finding SuSE's pre-sales support somewhat lacking. They do not appear to care if I buy their product or not. I am sure if I do decide to by SuSE that the installation support is good. I am more concerned with buying it and find it can not install on my platform
Here are the issues. All comments welcome.
The platform I am trying to put SuSE on is a Gateway E-6000. # Pentium 4 2533 MHz, 133MHz external bus # ATA-66 non RAID IDE # Intel BIOS MV85010A # NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 Graphics # Intel Intel PRO/100 Network Connection
Note that Red Hat has this configuration listed as certified. I can not find that info for SuSE.
Does anyone know if out of the box SuSE will install on this hardware? Is MySQL in SuSE by default? Is UUCP in SuSE by default? Is Sendmail in SuSE by default? Will the UUCP / Sendmail configuration that I have working on an old RH 6.0 box work on the new SuSE?
Thanks for your help John N. Alegre

all the system described by you is supported by SUSE, is not a problem of SUSE is a problem of the KERNEL that you'll use. By the way SUSE is another distribution of GNU Linux, with little differences with RH, but the majors are under configuration files, not because RH and SUSE, because the older version of RH that you have been running. You have to configure, as usual most of the system, that all. But it's easy enought for any IT Unix consultant. Regards
