Suse is bad

0 comments
We decided to try Suse because one of the Senior Directors use to work with Novell in 1932. But it is a bad Linux flavor, one example of a thousands: Man page, if you use the man page it give you a error even for built in commands like "man cp", it should come out of box without you have to do anything
iconv: conversion from utf8 unsupportediconv: try 'iconv -l' to get the list of supported encodings
See how to solve it here http://forum.nedlinux.nl/viewtopic.php?id=26602 Packages, there is not a lot of RPM available in the open source community for Suse, let's pick a famous one "GD" or "Imagemagick", there is no RPM for them, I know linux fans that we like to compile software, give me a break, or you can hack and use opensuse with rug. My personal choice are (not in this order):
  • Fedora
  • RedHat
  • Ubuntu
  • Knoppix

Every time I have to do something in Samba, I have to search the internet for hours, always have problem with Samba, most of it, I don't use Samba everyday and it goes to my /tmp folder in my brain RAM, overtime it get deleted, to not forget ..... list the servers you have in your network
smbclient -L servername --user='domain\username'
to mount a server, it will ask your password afterwards
mount -t smbfs -o username='domain\username' //server/folder mount
