My experience with Yast has not been good. Maybe it's better now, but when I used it, it tended to break things and hide shadow copies of configuration files where we couldn't find them, then write over our customized REAL files when we least expected. After having to fix a couple of broken systems by hand, we gave up using it. But please, no religious wars!
It is certainly true that SUSE (to my eyes) does things a little oddly, and it has some RH tools (system and chkconfig come to mind) that are of limited use and simply cause confusion. If you're paying for SLES and yast doesn't work, whinge and complain about it:-) I do think it has some bugs, and some components may be a little frail (I got openldap set up, and then broke it, but OTOH I got openldap set up much more easily than on RHEL or Debian or FC).
What's the kernel level for SLES10? I thought I recalled RHEL4 was slightly higher than SLES9.
On IA32 it's 2.6.16.21.
Suse does seem to like ReiserFS a lot. RHEL4 doesn't even include it in the base.
Oh, I thought it was, jfs and xfs aren't there either, and I assumed they were (I've seen instructions for making Anaconda support some of them, but it must have been for Fedora or even RHL). -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
