I find yast2 to be horrible.
If you apply updates, then yast2 can't find the right packages if you then
want to add software, and you get into a lot of trouble.
yast2's ability to deal intelligently with copying the entire CD to a disk
and then using that is pathetic. I create an LPAR as an adminstrative
LPAR and make that my YOU server for the cluster, sharing the updates via HTTP over a private VLAN. This works well, and is sorta easy to setup,
but isn't trouble-free.
I haven't tried RHEL on LPAR, but I run FC5/6 on Xen servers elsewhere.
Not very happy with yum, although it's much better than up2date.
yum is amazingly slow, and still gets stuck.
My next install will be debian, perhaps. The support I've gotten from SUSE has simply not been worth the money paid. |
