| | I'm wondering if anyone has ever used SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 as a regular desktop Linux distro?
I use mine as a local test server, but I'm thinking of installing it on my laptop (it has mobile features in it!) and dual booting with XP. Maybe not in the near future or anything.
It doesn't come with software like OpenOffice.org like some other versions have (Xandros for example, and I think Fedora Core 4) and it is very limited except on server stuff. Well, I am new to Linux so I wouldn't exactly know what 'limited' was on a Linux system.
One question is though, if I decide to use SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, when I install should I just remove all the server stuff or just leave it disabled on the system? Like my local test server has DHCP server software, BINDS DNS software, and some other stuff I don't use.
Thanks for any tips!

I'm not familiar wih Suse. With Mandrake, at installation time, you choose what kind of install you wish. I usually install "server" environment because it has a lot of usuful things. But there is also an option "workstation only". I'm pretty sure Suze has the same thing, have a careful look during install, and simply install client things. Remember that you will probably need minimum telecoms (at least telnet an samba I guess, and I would also add NFS). Regards Yordan

I have used it on my old computer, it is quite handy and I would recommend it for your laptop. Have fun and install it. But be sure to keep a backup of your old one if this one goes weird on you. I doubt it will be be safe!!!!

QUOTE(xboxrulz @ Nov 14 2005, 08:19 PM) Get SuSE 10.0 because it works like a server and workstation, you can choose between them. xboxrulz I use 9 because that is what my school uses (I work in my school's tech department, btw) and the one tech who I work close with uses the same installation (he let me borrow the six CD set and I made copies) and so he can find stuff and tell me to play with it and I can find stuff and tell him. I also use the Linux workstation that I have for when Windows decides to just not work (I just had to do data recovery on my mom's laptop because Windows just decided to "crash" for no apparent reason...  ) and whenever I need to do some Linux things. Personally, I have SUSE Standard Server 8 that I got back in Summer 2004 and I like SUSE Enterprise Server 9. Comparing the two systems, I prefer 9 over 8. Maybe I'll look into 10 this summer because when I work over this summer (well, I'm not sure about this summer because we are moving buildings and I get to help move out of our small office in the basement  to the new building) no one is on the network so I could possibly download it then... woot! Fiber lines rule!! 250KBPS!!! lol, I love my job... [N]F

What Is Linux
Introduction to Linux (2) QUOTE "Linux" generally refers to an open-source Unix-clone operating system based on the Linux
kernel, written from scratch originally by Linus Torvalds and other smart people from across the
web. Although the linux kernel, which interfaces with a computer's hardware, is the core of the
operating system, many other programs are needed to form a complete operating system. Various
commercial and non-commercial groups produce Linux-based operating systems containing the kernel,
all necessary programs, and an installer. These different versions of linux are referr....

Virtualization In Linux: A Review Of Four Software Choices
(4) Virtualization is the technique of running a "guest" operating system inside an already-running OS;
for example, Windows inside Linux, or vice-versa. This article compares four virtualization products
available for Ubuntu Linux: the free, open source Qemu; the closed-but-free versions of VirtualBox
and VMware-Server, and the commercial Parallels.
