Hi all, after having experienced Mandrake (9.2., 10, 10.1) as a wash-out when it came to compiling from source since more than a year, I am looking out for a distro that has everything aboard without giving me too many headaches with respect to dependencies. I consider buying SuSE 9.3. Has anybody experience with that distro?
I want to/have to: - build ghostscript 8.5x - build scribus 1.2.2cvs and 1.3cvs - build lprof - build inkscape 0.41 - build GIMP 2.2.6 Can all this be achieved with SuSE 9.3 without downloading too much stuff? It's a serious problem, because after a major hardware upgrade, I had to remove my ISDN-card. To access the internet, I have to boot W2k as the only device left is the one provided by the phone company. It's Windoze and OS/X only, hardly any chance of ever getting drivers for Linux, so you can imagine the pain of resolving Linux dependencies ... Any reports would be welcome. Thanks in advance, Christoph
