Dear list, lieber Thorsten,
english is not my native language, but I hope you can understand what I want
to say:
> What did you expect? That you get free support for a free product?
Perhaps it would be nice starting a faq? Reading this list 5 months, it
seems that many questions appearing were answered weeks ago. I can write
something about my experience with older systems. I tried Solaris and NetBSD
and must say, it was much easier for me (having some experience with SuSE
i386) to install a running system with 7.3 than with the (bugfree?)
Unix-systems. NetBSD e. g. is destroying my X-Windows everytime I´m ejecting
a floppy...

I cannot believe that there´s no way for SuSE and SUN to support you in this
question.

This will hurt me. I hope someone will develop a stable 2.4-32bit Kernel.
Where are you, guys?

I´m running a LX at this moment as router, connected to t-online´s T-DSL (a
german ADSL-derivate with 768 down/128 up) with roaring-penguin on eth0 and
an Antares-Lance-10Base2-Card as eth1 for my LAN. I tried the same on my SS
1+ and a SS 2, both times without any troubles. Only reason to use a
OneDiskLinux-Router on i386 normally is the low-noise & temperature
controlled fan...
So thank you very much for this release and many CPUs for the future
Thorsten Hahn
