Suse 9.1 etc for FREE


Recommended Posts

Does the suse linux enterprise server 8 include the mainetnance web support? I know that suse 9 pro lets you download updates withoud any passwords but sles 8 requires a registration number. Has anyone tried updating sles 8 yet?

thanks

It's nice that they're doing this and all, but why oh why do they have to make work for us? They provide one DVD ISO and then DVD's with 3 CD ISOs on them. Why couldn't they combine the 3 CD ISO set into a DVD ISO?

/rant

Anyway, got mine last Friday. Planning on clearing a partition and installing next week sometime.

Well its cheaper for them to distribute it in this way. Plus we're getting it for free, so I ain't complaining.

well this way u can use some .iso mounting tool and mount them as CD drives .. no burning necessary :)

BTW .. anyone know a good CD image mounting app in Linux ?

Isn't that a mount option?

Specify a filesystem type of ISO9660 buy using -t iso9660 in your mount command, I think...

Well, my set arrived the other day and I had to bin Mr RAID 0 array as YAsT said it was only software RAID and any partition configuration changes would destroy all the data :(

So an hour later (after ghosting my WinXP, killing my RAID and ghosting the XP image back to my first 160GB SATA drive) I finally get to start the install. Now all I need is to get Open GL support sorted on my Radeon and get playing UT2003 :)

As a side note, I'm now in work and I'm installing SUSE 9.1 on my Athlon 64 rig. When the disc booted I got a message "Nice Computer but.... - you are about to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit computer"

I thought that it was a 64-bit OS. Can anybody offer any advice on how to force 64bit??

According to

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse

SUSE doesn't make a 64-bit version.

Yes, Linux runs on many archetectures, but distro makers must decide what platforms to support. Right now SUSE doesn't appear to have released x86-64 support yet (neither does Mandrake). Other distros, such as Fedora, do.

Look around in distrowatch and find one that does, if you want to install a 64-bit Linux onto your system.

(If I am wrong here, please correct my info without being rude. I am just reporting what distrowatch has for their info) ;)

P.S. I really like the message they post when you try to install 32-bit SUSE on a 64-bit CPU. :D

Seems to indicate that it is 64 bit???

By default - without any add-ons - SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional supports AMD's Athlon 64 and Intel's? upcoming Extended Memory 64 Technology. Thus SUSE presents a 64-bit operating system and applications that make full use of the high performance and speed of these 64bit processors

Oh and the message is cool isn't it? :DD

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
