b3ta Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Novell has claimed that its forthcoming SuSE Linux Professional 9.2 distribution will appeal to "Linux newcomers" as well as technical enthusiasts. Also, Novell's Nat Friedman, vice-president of its desktop technology group, said open source vendors work off a modular, flexible development model that allows them to deliver new features to customers more regularly than Microsoft. Novell has also said Microsoft's Longhorn delay will give it more time to push iFolder, which, like WinFS, stores data in a user's real file system and tracks metadata in a separate location.

webeagle12 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 ah cant wait, 9.2 here I come :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RottGutt Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I downloaded the SuSE Live CD v4.2 .iso (test version you don't install, runs off the CD) 4 times, and burned it 3 times (tried Nero and UltraISO), and could never get any of them to boot correctly. I kept getting a "checksum doesn't match" error when booting. And people out there wonder why no one in the mainstream likes Linux. If a simple test CD won't even work, then why bother with the full thing? I e-mailed SuSE for technical help, but they only give tech support to people who buy the full package. Sorry Linux, I was interested, but you can forget it now! If anyone out there has any clue what I might have done wrong then please let me know. I am willing to give it one more shot.

RottGutt Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Oops... I meant v9.1, not v4.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iverson0881 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Did you try checking to see if the checksum matched with the file you downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechitowncubs Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 9.1 was OKAY, many things to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 suse is not quite as good as its hyped up to be, i tried 9.0 and 9.1 and i wasnt really impressed.... i like gentoo but for some reasons after 1-2 days of being installed it wont boot, didnt install anything new or anything..... and fedora core and mandrake are pretty good but debian is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
