That is really sad. Because in all honesty, I cannot cope w/ Ubuntu until and unless they get some sort of Yast-like setup system. one location where the majority of things from customization to actual necessities can be easily setup.
Why not JF? You learn more that way. Yast is sweet, no doubt about it, but when something is not handled you find out how much of a crutch it really is. I just set up Ubuntu Server for use as a backup server to be located at a remote site syncing file structures with a companies primary server. It went smoothly, its a very light weight server tailored to a specific task, needing only to automatically synchronize certain data structures and provide samba services to the people at the remote site. Samba, ssh, cups, minimal postfix, virus scanning, rsync+unison, and a few odds and ends. It runs headless and is remotely managed. The truth is that ubuntu sets up most things just fine. It is not the unusable mess that people on this list like to paint it, and setting up manually (or with cups/Samba built in tools) is not that hard, and you actually LEARN something along the way. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
