Looks like SuSE 8 is shipping. This version includes kernel 2.4.18 with the aa VM.

i have tried all the ftp site of suse and didn't find yet suse 8.0 anywhere

can anyone help me to find it

What does the aa VM mean?

i have installed the "old" SuSE 7.3 ...
questions:
1 how can i run gnome together with KDE (actually running)
2 when booting LILO shows me systems to boot linux or suse, whatever i choose the result is the same (aparently), is there any difference?

u have to reconfigure ur lilo bootloader

and delet the file named linux or suse
since they r both have the same point

I did't actually look but the bootloaderoptions are usually failsafe/linux/memtest/ and whatever else is configured eg. windows. If you do compile a kernel youself this is booted from "linux" afterwards (if you do it right). The kernel and settings in failsafe are not affected - so if you screwed up you can still boot into failsafe.
Gnomeapplikations run in KDE if you got the lib's for gnome installed - I think they are part of the defaultinstall with suse

The Linux VM was replaced after the 2.4.9 kernel. The aa (Andrea Arcangeli) VM is the new one.

well i don't know much about nothig in particular but what is a VM???
about putting together gnome and KDE, i've been to www.gnome.org and to kde's website trying to download their new versions , but apparently something is missing.
gnome sended me to another site where i downloaded a samll file that end up being something else, same at KDEs.
is it the only way to buy the cd or to get it from someone??
I have a mandrake and a red hat cd (one of each) and i wonder how can i install the games utilities and programs included on them, among those gnome desktop....too many questions too few time

I've looked too and I don't think they released the downloadable version yet.

We'll probably have to wait a few months before it'll be available via FTP... or I'll just have to break down and buy the retail box.

how about installing from another distribution, can it be done, i think YES, limitant: I have no clue HOW.
so if someone knows ...please tell me how

suse 8 is probably great, got to pay. i downloaded mandrake 8.2 the other day, it has most of the same features as suse 8, and i got it free, with xine player too. got to admit, i have to fight not to get it, sounds like they have done a good job updating it.

I paid for SuSE 7.3 and its good for a easy and quick linux installation. I opted for a more powerful and controlling distribution though

This is what their ftp site says.

Think virtual memory. Managing virtual memory can be done in several differnt ways, the "aa" method was developed by Andrea Arcangeli (thus the "aa"). There has been, and will probably continue to be, a lot of "discussion" over virtual memory management at the fairly lofty/deep levels of kernel development that Linus Torvalds, and others, exist in. Me, I don't go there!!

i am debating if i should use suse 8.0 or go with redhat or mandrake which is good for someone who is familir with linux somewhat i have used redhat for 5 months now and feel comfortable.

I want to setup my own ftp / web server and like gui want ease of use an deasy to install programs and have compatibility & support. Any suggestions please email or reply to this.
