It doesn't support pulseaudio, much to the annoyance of those of us who
use more up-to-date distros than RHEL/SL at home.
I think it'd be better to use Ubuntu, Mandriva or OpenSuse if you want
recent versions of desktop software like GIMP. The stability of
SL/Centos/RHEL is good for servers but has this downside for desktop usage.

ctly as an 'Ethernet Controller'. For
a test I've also tried kickstarting (using the same kickstart file)
except with SL 4.7, and this kickstart works perfectly.
So I guess it's a bug in anaconda in 4.3 that's fixed before 4.7. I'll
try kickstarting off DVD media or putting in another NIC.

could just do yum
install subversion.i386, why does it need to install 32-bit by default?
And do you know, will this change be rolled out to other packages so
that whenever we install something in future it will install both 32-
and 64-bit versions of it?

We're setting up a local mirror for our site which will probably include
updates. We have different machines at various different update levels
(4.3, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc.) and I've setup the mirror for those from
the contents of the DVD ISOs.
For the updates (which I'm assuming includes errata

The file should be:

syslog-ng-client-3.0.4-1.rhel5.amd64.rpm
The only difference I can see is that these files are named .amd64.rpm
instead of .x86_64.rpm - is this a yum bug that it's refusing to look at
these files?

ks quite nicely, even presents you the option of partitioned-based
disk layout or LVM-based in the installer (you can choose to completely
customise it too). 9.3 was end-of-life nearly 2.5 years ago and 10.3 is
also discontinued. http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Linux_Lifetime

Just wondering what you mean by SL 4.0-4.8 being 'obsolete'? Is it the
same as saying that SL4.0-4.7 are currently 'obsolete'?

says that it's 64GB in SL4 but gives no information for SL5. So two
questions:
Does SL4 i386 have a 'HUGEMEM' kernel build or do you just build those
features into the normal -smp kernel build in order to support 64GB RAM?

vices with symlink '/dev/disknumber-' but the
substitution of the ATRR{serial} bit seems to be impossible to get working.
The man page is usual includes no examples which might actually give me
the context I need to properly understand the 'printf-like substitution'
syntax that the developers are talking about.

I'd assume anything that works on Centos should work the same on SL as
they both try to keep very close to RHEL.
