No, but this should clearly be given in the release notes or other information on their web site. > The second question is related to this one: are we going to offer Suse 9.0 > as an option at our next installfest?? --- Al johnson Well, we can certainly try to help folks install it if they bring their own copy. However, distributions like Suse and Red Hat Enterprise Linux do not make their ISOs (CD images) or install trees freely available. We can only freely copy distributions like Debian, Mandrake, and Fedora (née Red Hat Linux). There are freely distributable RHEL knock-offs, like White Box Linux, that could be used as well; I'm not sure if Suse has knock-offs. One of the problems with Suse is that not all of the configuration tools are Open Source; unlike Red Hat which writes its software with the GNU GPL. By the way, the Steering Committee is working on planning the next installfest now, probably in January or February. We'll let you know when we have the exact date and location. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
