For the benefit of those "listening in" let's first state that what is being discussed here is openSUSE, not SLES with a support contract. So, the rules are different to start with.
Similarly, Fedora is run by a lot of volunteers (plus Red Hat employees). I imagine it would help if you can reproduce the problem in the supported product. I understand SLES can readily be downloaded for evaluation (and nothing prevents your evaluating it forever, though the support does time out), and I've seen SLED (the desktop version) on magazine DVDs. RH/Fedora have a problem that a package, such as dhcpd, in Fedora is not considered the same as even the same release of dhcpd in RHEL. I think their system (the same bugzilla database is used for RHEL and Fedora) needs to be able to detect and flag "all relevant" in some way, so that the official support person at RH for dhcpd in RHEL finds out when there is a problem in the Fedora version. Whether SUSE/openSUSE have an analogous problem, I don't know. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot 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
