simple and nice

Suse 10 is out there and everyone’s talking about it. I tried it and really hoped to make it as my default distro in the future. I’m currently using Archlinux and there’s nothing wrong with it but should go for the better one if it exists, right ? After using it for a while, I’d start to like it. Everything seem’s to work out of the box. Installing new linux system is never been that easy. Wifi (installing it on my new IBM laptop), X, sound etc are working out of the box without any hard work on my part. Just one thing, no postgresql packages was included in the 5 CDs release !!!

Quick check confirmed that postgresql was not included with this release. Failing to create the package myself, I looked their bugzilla and found bug #116688. It point me to these mailing list thread:-

Please add

http://download.opensuse.orgdistribution/SL-10.0-OSS-RC1/inst-source/

to your installation source and get all the postgres packages from there.
It's simply impossible to fit all packages on the 5 CDs, that's why some
packages are only in the ftp trees...

So now I’m adding the new installation sources through YAST but I guess the 35MB ARCHIVES file made YAST waiting forever to get it finished. Still waiting ……..
