OK, I don't literally have a skip, what I meant was are they of ANY practical use? Funnily enough about 2 or 3 years ago I had another 8 of these PCs that got updated at work and gave all of those...

Thanks for the reply, what I'm really after is application uses for these PCs rather than OS's to take a look at.

Applications on the lines of:- VOIP, X-10 Home Automation, TV Recording, CCTV...

"It?" have 3 of them :) All connected to an old KVM switch.

I have been conversing on the ZoneMinder forums as well. Someone on there very helpfully showed me how to install without using the omitted package.

Thanks,

Mark.

I was experimenting with ZoneMinder CCTV software on Suse 10.0. After some major configuartion problems, all caused by me I eventually decided on a complete clean re-install of Suse 10.

I...

It works!... However.. when attempting to compile php-4.4.2.tar.gz for Suse 10.1 I get the following errors

# ./configure

I hope it does, thanks for doing this Milhan. There is a bewildering choice of distros out there and for relatively inexperienced users like me it's really helpful to know the merits and pitfalls of...

I don't know nearly enough about what versions of Open/Free Linux are available.

I was wondering if someone would create a new poll of all the major recent(ish) distros so we can see the...

Thanks for that! I've been compiling for a while without even knowing it! :D

There was me thinking there was this "Dark Art" that someone may one day let me in on so long as I was sworn to...

I've made a few attempts at an OpenSuse10.1 clean install using a boot.iso and network repository install dir.

I've succesfully done a few network installs before and know what I'm doing with the...

I've been usuing Suse 9.1 & 10 on 2 different machines for a while and have so far relied on ready compiled versions of programs in RPMs in order to install them.

I'm unclear what is envolved in...

I've just done a brand new full clean install of OPenSUSE 10 and thought I'd take a look at Gnome. Having spent a day playing with it I've decided I prefer the familiarity I have with KDE.

How do...

Still didn't work :confused:

It appear to run reiserfsck anyway, even though I type "fsck".

I got impatient in the end and ran the apparantly more risky
"reiserfsck --rebuilt-tree" which...

I am having some problems with a Reiserfs partitioned drive on my Suse 9.2 server.

I run reiserfsck:-

# reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hdi1

and I get:-

Partition /dev/hdi1 is mounted...

Solved my own problem so thought I'd post solution.

#mysql -uroot =p" mysql

Then enter a password and all is fine again.

I found this solution in one of the replies to This Thread...

I'm trying to run phpBB2 software on Apache2, all was fine with setups except I had no password protecting my database.

After researching how to do it, I attempted to set password "freddy" to root...

I'm having some peculiar performance issues with my Gigabit Lan.

I have some 100Mb devices so I can't do the necessary "jumbo Frame" tweaks for absolute optimum performance as I'd prevent them...

Ah well, teach me to pay attention to which forum topic I'm in when I post I guess. Will type them out again later.

Thanks for letting me know.

Mark.

I posted three specific queries relating to Suse earlier today but they've disappeared.

I originally incorrectly posted them in the Unix begiiners forum, edited them out from there and re-posted...

I downloaded and installed SUSE Pro 9.1 last night, smallish (28MB) installer than goes and gets around 1.2Gb of data from an FTP site.

What a pleasure it is. The install was very easy, kept me...

Thanks again,

I'm installing Sue 9.1 Pro as I type, from th einstaller everything appears straight forward and very well presented.

I checked a poll that showed 44% of those who took part use...

I just checked out that Libranet website, the screen shots do show a very nice windows-like interface. Does SUSE have anything like that?

I'm downloading SUSE personal edition at home right now...

Thanks for the suggestions...Seems like everyone has their own favourite, though I bet they'll all do the simple tasks I need.

I installed ClarkConnect on the suggestion of a friend which had a...
