I added it via Addon Product I also added the SDK-Pool. Then re-run the registration stuff. After all this a zypper up gave a buch of updates. This is a bit different to openSUSE because of the commercial licence stuff :) I have the "It works!" page showing up :) Have to go to work now, I'll configure it later. If everything goes right I will never remember how I configured this new server when I need the next one, in 2016, was it? P.S. I didn't find mysql-administrator yet...

Improvements ARE fixes, especially in a server. Upgrade reluctance is so lame. Have you never made a mirror system to test a proposed OS UG in? Sheesh.

Do you have answers to any of the questions I asked? Or was the above one?

I generally either build my own on OBS or do a manual download/install via a local repo.

Upgrade reluctance is NOT lame they they force you to switch from kde3 to kde4 and drop kde3 support. Kde4 still has not become production acceptable. And the Virtual concept is still too limited for me (all of them!). None that I've tried will allow a virtual OS to access the com port, which is an absolute requirement for me. I've tested Xen, VirtualBox, and VMWare (free edition). I will pay for one that works with com ports, provided they let me know it is in there and will support it. USB will also be handy, and many restrict that. The com port also needs shared read access so I can do a Linux program to extract the com port data into logging and alarm processes. |
