Hello from Linux

time to read 1 min | 115 words

Well, I've finally installed SUSE 9.3, the install process was rather smooth, and didn't require much beyond choosing a root password.

The idea is that I'll be able to develop for linux on this machine. It's a P3 500 with 384Mb RAM and 10Gb HD, and it has some serious problems handling the UI.

The surfing performance is visibly slower since Firefox takes so long to draw the page.
Nevertheless, the UI is immediately familiar & usable and I can make headway into starting to use it. The idea is to also turn this system into Subversion server, hopefully I'll also conquer the mysteries of Apache and would be able to turn this into a web server as well.

Enough for now, I think.

Good night

Suse Linux Eval?

time to read 1 min | 66 words

I want to play a little with Mono on Linux, so I went to Suse homepage to get the latest distribution, and I see there an Eval version and an FTP version. The only difference that I can see between the two is that there the eval version has only 1,000 packages with it and the FTP version has 3,500.

What is the story here?
