I actually purchased 9.2, and then 9.3, as I was preparing to return to SuSE on my These are bugs, not intention. SuSE ran my servers at home, and my server at a colo (until very recently, when I replaced the SuSE 8 with another distro as a test). At one point I had the “subscription” (anyone remember those? great idea, but the implementation wasn’t that reliable), and regularly purchased the new releases (or at least every other release). I haven’t decided yet if I am going to continue with my plans of returning my primary servers to SuSE.įor the record, I’ve been a SuSE user since 1997 or 1998. Instead of being able to install it and start working, I’ve had to waste time installing what it would let me, and then go through the files on the CD or DVD and install a few things manually. I wish I wouldn’t have spent the money to buy it. Overall, I was sorely disappointed by 9.3’s installation. Is this Novell’s way of trying to “encourage” people to buy Novell desktop or enterprise versions, by crippling the installation of SuSE professional? Sure, the programs are there, as advertised, but the ability to install them seems to be hindered. They are on the CD and/or DVD, but the yast installer doesn’t find them. ![]() Even searching for postgres (and various cases and abbreviations) in 9.3 failed to find them. It also more difficult to find and install postgres with 9.3 (and 9.2, though 9.2 was easier than 9.3). This means they broke something going from 9.2 to 9.3, and instead of fixing it, they removed the ability to use JFS at install time. It really disappoints me to see SuSE take the low road on this. And, they don’t mention it anywhere that I’ve found. Instead of fixing it, they removed the feature. I found, after googling about this for a while, a message that seems to indicate SuSE/Novell had some “technical” problems with JFS on install. This is quite a pain if you wanted / to be JFS. If you want to use JFS, you either have to have the partition already formatted and tell SuSE install to use it as it stands (not tested), or you have to install with something different, and then go back and reformat and replace everything after the install. ![]() Again, a problem because I use postgres too. JFS has been removed from the installation tool. You failed to mention a couple of big gotchas! At least they are big issues for me. ![]()
