Review: SUSE 10.1
Novell released SUSE 10.1 -- the distro once known as OpenSUSE -- this month after an extensive public beta that went through five public and two closed release candidates before being deemed worthy. Here's my take on the final version of SUSE 10.1.
I installed SUSE 10.1 on a desktop system and a laptop. Installation was fairly normal for a modern Linux distribution, easy-as-pie in the full default mode if you're not concerned with partitioning or dual-booting, and not difficult even if you are. I ran into a bump in the road during installation on both machines: a small bump on the desktop and a more pronounced one on the laptop. Both bumps had to do with hardware compatibility.
The desktop machine is a locally built "white-box" unit made up of an MSI K8 mainboard with an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 1GB of memory, Maxtor 160GB Ultra ATA133 7200RPM 8MB disk drive, Hitachi GDR8162B CD/DVD ROM drive, and a Logitech USB/PS2 optical rodent. I used the on-board Nvidia video, sound, and Ethernet components provided on the MSI mainboard.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
