i'm currently reviewing a doc on suse linux enterprise 11, the
section on NFS, but i don't have a SLES 11 machine in front of me.
could anyone who uses both SLES 11 and fedora 12 comment on how
indistinguishable the NFS setups are across those two distros?
so far, i haven't seen a lot that's massively incompatible, and i
wouldn't expect to. obviously, the fundamental files are going to be
the same.
I haven't use suse in quite some time. Are you asking about SLES (which
is the equivalent of RHEL) or openSUSE which is more akin to Fedora,
AFAIK?
In any event, if I were doing what I think you're doing I would download
either the openSUSE DVD or the openSUSE live CD's and try it myself in a
Virtual Machine. I mean, who better to know what exact comparisons I'm
looking for?
As I said, I've not used suse in quite a while. But, your question as
well as the post about firefox/kde integration has prompted me to start
downloading the DVD to give it a try. I think it is safe to say that
Fedora/RH place less emphasis on KDE than suse does. So, being a KDE
leaning person it would be worth the time to check it out.
Of course, just like trying any other distro there will be differences.
I believe suse uses yast as their package manger. But, at least it is
rpm based and I'm used to the warts of that system.
Should I get the chance to experiment with NFSv4 on it I will. Probably
try to export and mount file systems from/to a F12 system. Sounds like
a nice challenge.
