Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Which Linux version to use?

Posted by Tom Jackson on

I was completely unable to install a working version of SuSE 7.? I tried on two machines: one brand new, the other a P133 Aptiva that had Red Hat 6.0. SuSE failed to detect my video setup on both machines. Red Hat 7.0 installed without problems on both. Also, Red Hat 7.1 is a huge downer compared to 7.0. It requires both CD's, plus an extra 500 megs of space. In the end I was unable to install RH7.1 because of a non-essential, corrupted RPM, something like x-useless-widget. At least with 7.0 they created a single CD that installed without the need to call for support.
