| ecarlcl | hi folks, I'm thinking about switching from gentoo to opensuse and I have a quick question for you, can you install on a software raid array? |
| action | Bob-Lv isnt 100% sure but believes he saw that the last time he installed suse |

| RickyRayy | ecarlcl, i asked someone that before and the asnwer i got was that it was better to setup the software raid after linux is installed |
| Bob-Lv | its a custom partition setup in the installer |
| houston8x | !raid |
| RickyRayy | how long does it take for 'synchronizing with ZENworks' after adding repo's? |
| houston8x | You should disable zenworks |
| matdrodes | a life |
| houston8x | !community |
| SUSEhelp | Rumour has it community is still a little worried. No infomation as come out about Novells free products saying if they are covered for sure. |
| matdrodes | that's why everybody hates zmd |
| houston8x | !ZMD |
| SUSEhelp | houston8x: I don't know anything about remove zmd, try asking google! |
| matdrodes | !removezmd |
| SUSEhelp | To remove and/or no longer use ZMD, and use the alternative, see http://opensuse-community.org/Package_Sources |
| houston8x | Thats the one! |
| ecarlcl | RickyRayy: how do you do that if you want to have all the system paritions on the raid? |
| RickyRayy | houston8x, just before i ran this yast session, i typed that command. su -c "rpm -e zmd libzypp-zmd-backend sqlite-zmd rug zen-updater" |
| Bob-Lv | !wine |

| RickyRayy | ecarlcl, sry, i didnt' bother with the raid |

| ecarlcl | RickyRayy: still drooling on this review, if it lives up to it I'm in for a treat |
| RickyRayy | ecarlcl url pls |
| ecarlcl | http://www.linuxforums.org/reviews/suse_10.2_review.html one of my friends was all over me to try ubuntu, which got me thinking about binary based distros and I'd rather save ubuntu for a last resort |
| RickyRayy | oh yes it's good |
| kkathman | ubuntu is great for newbs |
| ecarlcl | RickyRayy: I'm getting kind of tired of trying to use gentoo for a desktop, as a server it rules, Seems to me that opensuse has way better maintained docs and such, plus it looks like you can just drop it in and it'll run |
| kkathman | but you soon find out its very non performant |
| ecarlcl | kkathman: I agree |
| kkathman | its very bloated and very slow and non responsive |
| RickyRayy | cool |
| ecarlcl | kkathman: thats what ive been hearing |
| kkathman | its like a child, where SUSE is more like the parent |
| ecarlcl | with opensuse, is it easy to graft in your own kernels and stuff like that? |
| matdrodes | kkathman: something else? :) |
| kkathman | matdrodes: ?? |
