SUSE (properly pronounced , but frequently and incorrectly pronounced /suzi/) is a major retail Linux distribution, produced in Germany. The company is owned by Novell, Inc. SUSE is also a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium.

History


The SUSE Linux distribution was originally a German translation of Slackware Linux. In mid-1992, Softlanding Linux System (SLS) was founded by Peter MacDonald, and was the first comprehensive distribution to contain elements such as X and TCP/IP. The Slackware distribution (maintained by Patrick Volkerding) was initially based largely on SLS.

S.u.S.E was founded in late 1992 as a UNIX consulting group, which among other things regularly released software packages that included SLS and Slackware, and printed UNIX/Linux manuals. They released the first CD version of SLS/Slackware in 1994, under the name S.u.S.E Linux 1.0. It later integrated with the Jurix distribution of Florian La Roche, to release the first really unique S.u.S.E Linux 4.2 in 1996. Over time, SUSE Linux incorporated many aspects of Red Hat Linux (e.g., using RPMs and /etc/sysconfig).

Virtual Hosting With Proftpd And MySQL (Incl. Quota) On Fedora 9
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:30:49 -0000
"This document describes how to install a Proftpd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota with this setup."
Hosted Zimbra Email Catches On With Managed Service Providers
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:30:49 -0000

Perl and Bash Versions Of Binary To Decimal Conversion Script
Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:30:49 -0000
The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "As promised, in yesterday's post on converting binary values to decimal in C, today we're going to follow up with straight-up ports to Perl and shell. Actually, they'll be slightly different. If you check yesterday's post, for some reason I left in a variable called "difference" which was a part of the code I mentioned that I had originally written to pad 0's on the left hand side of a binary number less than 8 digits."
