Hi Melchior,
No its not political, and I am just looking for the best option for the
future.
I moved over to SUSE 6 early 90's from Redhat because Yast was really good
and everything worked from the cds. Also the CDs were complete. These days
it seems you need to buy a commercial version for the full house. That was
in pre internet days as well.
With 10.1 I did a bit of mucking about and got FG built ok, Same with 10.3.
But now I seem to download lots if things, They have dropped a lot of apps
off the DVD including FG, My net connection here in Bali is pretty slow
(and expensive) , infact terminal compared to what I have experienced in Eu.
So searching and downloading additional files is a drag.
I can appreciate the legalities, but needing to download codecs just to get
video and audio playing on 10.3 is a bit much. There are all these players
installed but all need additional downloads, the messenger client did not
work. The whole thing is just not like before. Vmware would not build
either.
As much as I would like it, I don't expect to just build FG or Terragear
with out some work.
I had a look at Fedora a year or two ago but felt SUSE was still the better
option.
My current sim setup is based on 4 SUSE 10.3 machines with FG v1.9.1, I
have no complaint, but they are dedicated machines.
I see Debian mentioned a fair bit. I install the basic Etch version and all
the above basic programs are working full function from the DVD, even
festival is installed. Vmware went in and ran straightaway.
I follow the normal routine, some extras from the DVD and FG is built with
no warnings or errors not much different to SUSE 10.3. Although I must
admit with a new intermittant dropout in the audio with Al buffer messages
on exit.
So I was pretty impressed with the Debian, except I have never seen this AL
issue before. I am not about to reinstall the 4 sim machines to Debian.
I have not tried SUSE 11 although the dvds are availible locally. Believe
it or not we have a specialist linux shop here in Bali!
But I am preparing to try and make local scenery and airport layouts of WRRR
the local airport here. Now i really need a Terragear system with all the
additional tools. After failing with Terragear SUSE before, I am wondering
if I am better to consider Debian for Terragear or possibly SUSE11, Maybe
then I will find answers to upcoming problems searching lists and forums as
other have already encountered the same issues with Debian. IE more people
doing the same things with the same OS.
Either way I expect to build up a directory of additional's locally to
rebuild the machine.
Cheers Harry
