As I said before, we here at the university are only using SLED, not SLES and the (hardware) firewall blocks http access TO the SLED desktops anyway, so we don't have any LAMP software installed. zypper search _does_ give apache2, php and mysql to be available, though, even for SLED. -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

Hi You can always use SLED along with the SDK to pull in apache2, php etc if you have an active subscription you will get updates to the SDK. -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.27.42-0.1-default up 15 days 10:06, 4 users, load average: 0.17, 0.15, 0.10 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - CUDA Driver Version: 190.53

You're missing the fact that VirtualBox is also available for SLE: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/SLE_11 and this repo DOES have the newest version: 3.1.4 -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.
