The Perfect Setup - SuSE 10.1 (32-bit)
This is a detailed description about how to set up a SuSE 10.1 based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web server (SSL-capable), mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server, POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc.).
In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

How To Compile A Kernel - The SuSE Way
Each distribution has some specific tools to build a custom kernel from the sources. This article is about compiling a kernel on SuSE systems. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel) so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your distribution. It also shows how to patch the kernel sources if you need features that are not in there.

Setup - SUSE 9.2
This is a detailed
description about the steps to be taken to setup a SUSE 9.2 based server
that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web server (SSL-capable),
mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server,
POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc.). In addition to that I will show how to use
Debian’s package manager apt
on an rpm-based system because it takes care of package dependencies automagically
which can save a lot of trouble.

Comparing Distribution Boot Times
View original post
I’ve been interested in the way different distributions handle boot time lately, and with openSUSE’s recent and very impressive boot time improvements I thought I’d make a few extra comparative statistics using bootchart.
Rules
To ensure that these results are reasonably fair, I’m posing a few restrictions, most of which are pretty obvious:
- Use the same setup, my laptop, a Vaio VGN-FE11S.
- Local user, IP by DHCP
- Completely default setup, no system updates. As the openSUSE article mentions, updates can really change the speed of boot time since the files you need to access will be fragmented over the hard disk.
- Time recorded will have to be the time until the KDM screen loads, with no auto-login.
- No extra partitions mounted at boot.
The Results and Bootcharts
So the distributions I tried are openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1, Fedora 7, PCLinuxOS 2007, Kubuntu Tribe 4 and Mandriva 2008 Beta 1. What I found was that there was very little, if anything, between the boot up times of the various distributions. On my laptop however, openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1 came out as the fastest with the same impressive 27s!
Here is the run-down with bootcharts:
- openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1 in 27 seconds
- Fedora 7 in 41 seconds
- PCLinuxOS 2007 in 32 seconds
- Kubuntu Tribe 4 in 31 seconds
- Mandriva 2008 Beta 1 in 29 seconds
Now, though this is certainly an indication of boot time speed, boot time speeds can vary quite a bit on different hardware. There would be nothing impossible about different results on different hardware. That said, I would be very interested in seeing any comparisons on other hardware, so if you have some (from a default installation), please do share them as well.
In other exciting news, openSUSE 10.3 Beta 2 is scheduled to be released later today
