- sanguinemoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You haven't seen OpenSUSE in the wild, huh? It's the second ranked distro on distrowatch :p But as with any distro, the biggiest factor isn't the distro itself (unless one is unstable or bad in some other way) is the user.
Yup, Ubuntu does seem to the be distro of the week everyweek right now. But I remember SUSE being the distro of the week everyweek, and Fedora being it, and Mandrake (No, I don't mean Mandriva..we're talking when I used it back in the Mandrake 7 days), etc. Gnu/Linux is peculiar in that goes through fads like this. - DAaaMan64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Running fine on VMWare server.
- venukb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I guess "perfect setup" is subjective, not everybody who install OpenSuSE wants a mail server and DNS server !
Nice article though :) - maddox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The howtwoforge 'Perfect Setup' tutorials are a good and very clearly laid out series. They often help as a reminder for things that would normally get overlooked during installations. I used the Ubuntu one recently just to check that I was chrooting BIND in the correct way.
- kettlechips, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Needs a VPN server, too.
- screenienerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sweet screenies of 10.2

- tardpicard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1did you mean POSIX or Point Of Sale, or something else. OpenSuse isn't that bad, but certainly not ideal for every situation. For an all in one server solution that is easy to setup, I happen to agree with the article.
- jcblitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1works great with parallels.
- deanshultz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Since M$ covenant, no longer use/consider Novell.
- mfearby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It also needs a way to disable (in KDE) the fading text in taskbar icons and a way to disable the translucent selection rectangle on the desktop (which chugs on my system due to my average video card). And for some reason Open Office loads with nasty/chunky/blurry fonts even though I've disable font anti-aliasing somewhere in the control centre. For a Windowsaholic like me, thinking of kicking the habit, there are still a few annoyances in Linux remaining before I could think of making the final switch.
- mtgarden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It works, but try this one: Run Suse as the host and Windows as the Guest..... :-) Course you can't be planning on gaming with in the Windows guest.
Still it's a setup that I love. - sanguinemoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@dc2447 Yup, same reason I switched from SUSE 9.1. It was wierd installing something from the package manager and have all those unresolved dependancies. Using SUSE I started to find it easier to just compile everything from source because sadly, it became my expectation that installing through YAST would fail.
- dc2447, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I boycotted Suse a long time a go - I think it was the day I discovered that Yast couldn't resolve dependancies.
Only Solaris is this rubbish in that respect. - bunzinator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Could not agree more! SUSE is now OS non-grata.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3no it doesn't and i am this is pretty new setup
- cyanid3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4emerge -c schestowitz
:) - acesomeone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hmz, does openSUSE work with VMWare? Didn't seem to for me...
- Sp1k3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I refuse to touch anything SuSE or Novell after the Microsoft deal. ***** Novell!
- dezmd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2This seems like subtle spam for OpenSuSE, why would you choose it over Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu seems to be the flavor of the week, every week, and OpenSuSE has been getting a trickle of press from the Novell/Microsoft debacle but I have yet to see it 'in the wild' among my coworkers and clients, or providing any significant advantage over Ubuntu.
- willbrown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Man that's really cool... I just wish it was with something besides SuSE. Even Fedora is better in my mind, both graphically and usability. I suppose the goal of this project was to make a text-based setup since it's a server, but still... if that's so why not use DSL or even better - BSD?
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4I'm sorry. I must have confused this with something similar but separable. My bad.
sudo mod-parent-up - UltimaNut, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2www.boycottnovell.com
- mikerev, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Perfect setup for a POS operating system? cackle.
- huibuh, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Sorry, it did not. You should do some research before posting nonsense.
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1Already made the front page... sorry...
