“Today, SuSE Linux, the international technology leader and
provider of Open Source solutions, announced the release of SuSE
Linux 7.1 for the Sparc architecture of Sun Microsystems.“
“SuSE Linux 7.1 for Sparc comes with the proven Linux Kernel
2.2.18 as well as the latest Kernel 2.4.2 as a special bonus for
technophile users. SuSE Linux 7.1 is based on the program library
glibc 2.2. The popular SBUS graphics cards are supported by XFree86
4.0.2.”
“The scope of applications with LFS (Large File Support) as well
as the number of applications that support IPv6 (Internet Protocol
Version 6) has grown. IPv6, which is gradually replacing IPv4,
allows the use of additional IP addresses and much more flexible
routing. Further, individual program packages can be installed with
SuSE’s installation and administration tool, YaST2, from CD-Rom or,
a new feature, from an FTP server. RPMs with SuSE GnuPG key provide
additional security during system updates. The graphical user
interface KDE 2.0.1 ensures a maximum degree of user friendliness
and functionality.”
