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

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
