Hi,

I am looking for feedback from anyone who installed IS 8.1 on SuSe Linux environment. I understand the version was released at the end of January.

Many Thanks,

Aruna.

I haven't done it yet, but I will be doing an upgrade from version 8.0.1 to 8.1 on 64-bit SuSE Enterprise Linux when I can make some free time.

Hi Mike,

That is the feedback I am interested in too. We currently finished our development in 8.0.1 in SuSe. We are in a kind of dilemma whether to switch to Redhat Linux before implementing due to the issues we had during development phase with 8.0.1 in SuSe.

As v8.1 for SuSe just got released we just want to see any success or horror stories out there first before taking a decision.

Thanks,

Aruna.

Aruna,

We are using IIS 8.1 on Windows and plan to migrate to Linux SuSe, would you mind describing the issues that you had during development phase with 8.0.1?

I know that in 8.1 IBM fix a lot of issues but still I would like to be aware of them .....

Thanks,

If you've got 8.1 then you should have a readme document that outlines everything that has been "fixed in the current release".

I can't provide any substantive experience with SuSE other than the 64-bit install was a royal pain.

I currently spend my day job working on AIX.

If you look at the list of supported platforms, SuSE is probably going to get the least attention from IBM...

Mike,

Unfortunately Linux SuSe is my current employer's standard

I understand SUSE is now in tier I release schedule of IBM for 8.2 release as against Tier II all these days. So, I am hoping the attention issues we had for SUSE in earlier releases will go away. May be I am being too optimistic.

I was told most of the issues we had with v8.01 were addressed in 8.1.
