[Cialug] SuSe

[Josh More]

What was stated below is incorrect. 
 
The latest version of SUSE is 10.  The latest retail version is also 10,
but it has not 
hit stores yet.  It is, however, downloadable as an eval DVD iso.  There
is no 
difference between the evan DVD and the commercial DVD other than the
eval 
does not come with phone support. 
 
The confusion over openSUSE versus SUSE is that SUSE has a handful of
closed-source 
packages in it.  The openSUSE has those packages removed.  Both are
SUSE, both 
are SUSE 10. 
 
Regarding the 600MHz question, it depends on the architecture of your
processor. 
Intel or AMD should be fine.  If you are trying a K6, Cyrix, etc you
*may* have problems. 
Officially, SUSE supports: 
 
# Intel Pentium 1-4 
# AMD Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Sempron 
# AMD Opteron, Athlon 64. Sempron 64, Turion 64 
# Intel Xeon, Xeon MP, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 
# G5 / G4 / G3 
# 604 / 603 / 601 
# IBM RS/6000 
# IBM pSeries (except the models with RS64 cpu) 
# IBM iSeries 
 
So if you have anything else, you may have issues.

I believe 9.1 is the latest retail version. Yes it should run on a
600MHz CPU. I have never used Suse OSS but 10.0 is the latest version
and is available at this link.
