Problem one… the update install decided that i had the wrong version of some “opensuse” config file. the download, burn, boot was un-eventful. So, i downloaded the net-install version of 11.1 (the dvd was unusable, because my quicksilver only has a cd drive). in order to investigate this, i believed that updating my home 11.0 installation to 11.1 would be a good idea. as my office version of 11.0 was incapable of installing openOffice.oo version 3 (god knows why), i thought that 11.1 might help. this worked for a few months, and gave me the confidence to install the x86_64 version of openSUSE 11.0 on my office machine. i was able to successfully install openSUSE 11.0 on that box using a net-install CD boot disk. my home machine is a PPC based apple “quicksilver”, a not uncommon box. my office machine is an AMD based machine, but i like to try any changes on my home machine first. My current contract has me in an environment which uses novell netware, therefore my linux of choice is SUSE… which has become openSUSE. Tonight, i have had the worst experience with unix that is possible. i have also used the pyramid OS which tried to join the bsd world with the att world. through the years, i have used many different bsd variations, as well as apollo, sun, and hp implementations. My first exposure to unix was in 1980, using bsd 2.x on a vax 11/780. Yes, i know, the thread title is a troll.
