I'm german and there are many books about SuSE and from SuSE Press itself (now millin) here in german and in my house, too. But now I read that the SLES 9 for ppc is for 64bit only. And I have a 32bit ppc :-( I think the main question for _me_ is an OS able to running on my hardware without compiling myself. But I think we come off topic here and Christoph has the answer given for me. Ciao Marco. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's not the question if I need it. I wan't to learn to use it. The other thing is that the last SuSE for my RISC-mashine is SuSE Linux 7.3. (O.K. Now OpenSUSE is able to running on an RS/6000 and I'm very happy about :-) The SLES is aviable for more processor platforms than SuSE Linux.

I wish the SLES 9 eval version can payed (licenced) for one user, home use or students for little money.

Yep, that was so since years. SuSE Linux comes on ftp for free download, 3 month after selling, without some proprietary packets. In the last SuSE 9.3 there also the Kernel rpm's are splitted in GPL and non GPL packages. And now that is OpenSUSE you can get on ftp, bevor it's selling in shops, and the comunity can help to develop it. > The "other" distribution is "SUSE Linux", sold as a boxed set (soon for > 10.0, has been announced recently). It's actually the same as "SUSE > Linux OSS" + some proprietary packages like Realplayer and Java.

I think a group like Packman, where the quality is perfect since years and packagers who I know, (all of them are well known if you worked with SuSE for a while ;-) is a good way. I can trust them, add their install source to Yast and import their key to my RPM-database. Same with some suser on: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-*/ This smaller groups can easier managed, look for Quality, licences and so on. I think their is no a need for one big SuSE/openSUSE RPM Pakager Group. .. But for a global one SuSE/openSUSE RPM www archive, database It's easier to make one point in www for this. All small Packager groups around the world can have a base here. The user can chose what he want and then add their installsources in Yast. There can be one database for all packages from all packager groups with a uservoting like on http://www.kde-apps.org/ -- Ciao Marco, registered GNU/Linux-User 313353 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
