I'm getting a Sun W1100z workstation and I'm going to load Solaris x86, Windows XP and SuSE 9.1 Pro on it. While it will basically be used by me at my station it will also double as a test machine for some of the products we make.
Does anyone see a problem with using the 64-bit SuSE on this machine? I want to use it as my primary OS....with Solaris and Windows being optional OSs. Right now I run the standard SuSE 9.1 on my Intel machine.
Sun W1100z ?
That's a single opteron based box right ?
Im running suse 9.1 X86_64 on a dual opteron (metropolis) box as a testbed,
and it works like a charm.
I had redhat 3 WS ES update 1 on it befpre (as that's what Sun ships it
wi9th) but that gave me a horror of a time with NFS.
The only thing is that you *must* install the latest NVidia drivers (6106).
I don't know which ones yast/you picks for you, but the 5xxx serieas
drivers will lock the ssytem when running 32bit OGL applications
(quake3 to name just one)
Apart from that, the box will just voom (esp.if you have the FX3000 video
card ;) )
