Question Siemens Unix = Sinix?
Hi all

I am new to this forum. I will be work as Unix Administrator later and know I will admin Siemens Unix, I would like to ask is Siemens Unix = Sinix OS?

I only admin a bit on AIX, Solaris before. I would like to know any tutorial on Sinix on the net? As I know nothing of it. Is it easy to learn and how can I get familar with it shortly? Thanks for your help!

As i know, the company will be change to use SUSE Linux in the future, but I am very afraid of Linux, always troublesome, eg whenever installing software, it returns a lot of dependenies, which also rely on tons of other dependenies, and so on, those dependenies sometimes conflicts of themselves. Very nightmare...anyway / experience share to overcome this problem ? Thanks

yes. most popular distributions of linux include at least one software package manager which will automatically resolve, download and install dependencies for you, as you install your software. Debian were the first (i think) to do this, their tool is called "apt". the one for suse is called "yast2" i think, while on other systems: mandriva uses "urpmi", fedora uses "yum", "up2date" or "apt" (in my opinion the apt port is the best of these for fedora), slackware even has one called "slapt-get" (and another called "swaret" that i haven't used) except that dependency checking for slack relies on the packages containing dependency information. None of the official slackpacks include this! this makes the slackware one a bit unstable for dependency checking at this time. I am sure solaris has one, but i can't remember the name, and i have heard of others with more funny names that do a similar job.

In short, most mature systems have some sort of automatic tool that will install your dependencies transparently over the network so not to worry.

The packages you want to install need to be available at your installation repositories. If there is none with "clamav-server", it doesn't find it.
