It arrived today! (SuSE 6.3)
by Martyn Drake 11 Jan '00

11 Jan '00

And I must admit to being extremely impressed not only with the amount of stuff included within the package (it comes on 6 CDs plus one freebie evaluation CD making 7 CDs in total as well as a whopping huge manual), but the manual is very readable too. I've asked whether it's possible to obtain a couple of extra sets for the group, or failing that, if they're offering any discounts. I'll keep you posted. As soon as we've got the next meeting in the bag you can be sure that I'll be struggling to carry all this stuff with me!

Corel Linux - Partitioning Problem
by Justin Jonas 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Maybe one of you can sort out this one I have 3 hard drives in my machine. So when I did the install I went for the manual partition option rather than the take over my hard drive option don't want to delete the wrong drive!) I have a 2gb drive I wanted to setup Corel Linux on. So for my main partition I selected 1800mb (leaving 200mb for the swap partition) but the partition manager shows it as a 900mb partition. The same thing happened with the swap partition. It seems what ever I put in as my partition size gets halved. Anyone know what's going on?

Corel Linux
by John Woodard 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Just installed Corel Linux from the PC Plus CD! It took me just 20 min to install to a KDE desktop that is actually quite user friendly. After all the hype/rhetoric documented install problems, I must say that I'm pretty impressed. This is a real step in the right direction for a realistic usable desktop solution. I'm sure that now a viable alternative to MS desktop OSs is just around the corner. I won't be ditching RedHat just yet though because I'm just getting comfortable with its foibles and idiosyncrasies but if I was to recommend a distro to a complete newbie it would have to be Corel flavoured. Just my 2pence worth. Any more info on the next meet?
