http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi I have some questions regarding OpenSuse and Suse Linux Enterprise Server available from Novell. (1) What is the difference between OpenSuse and Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) ? I see there is a link to download SLES in the Novell site. Will we have to buy SLES after 60 days for us to continue to use that OS ? (2) I see this link Software.openSUSE.org There is this link to download 4.7 GB DVD of Opensuse. Does that mean we need not have to download any packages from this repository, Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/i586 For installing Oracle on Opensuse 9 I remember I had to install many of those packages on my laptop. Do we still need to install those packages ? (3) I have to install this SUSE (either Opensuse or SLES) on my laptop. My Laptop is Compaq Presario CQ60. Can I connect to Internet if I install this software ? Last time I faced lots of problems. I thought some laptops cannot be configured to Internet if installed with Linux. (Distributions)

Planet SUSE aggregates blog posts from the SUSE Linux universum, including openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.  It aggregates not only English blog posts but also as separate feeds German, Spanish, Polish,  and Portuguese posts.

Summary: OpenSUSE Conference largely fails to attract press coverage, which may show that Novell no longer cares so much now that it negotiates selling SUSE to VMB_ware EARLIER TODAY we wrote about the expectation that VMB_ware will take over OpenSUSE, which is currently a Novell product/project.

I found that the Libdvdcss library at: URL: http://suse.linuxin.dk/repo/11.X/ was no longer active. I think you can still get it from the VLC repository. However you can find it here as well.

OpenSuse 11.1:

I need to install Yum, but does not connect to the server.

Code: baraghost:~ # sudo zypper install yum Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'yum' not found. Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do. baraghost:~ #

The openSUSE Build Service (obs) is an open package and distribution development platform that provides a transparent infrastructure that allows developers to build for various major Linux distributions and architectures.

I attempted to download openSUSE 12.1 through wget. It stopped after 64% showing:

05:54:48 (120.30 KB/s) - `openSUSE-12.1-DVD-i586.iso' saved 4429185024/4429185024]

It appears that the download is complete but then why does it show 64% only?
