New SLED user help

I have ised SUSE studio to make a build of SLED 11 SP3, and i don’t have any idea on how to get past the license agreement part. It’s installing is YaSt, so if anyone can help, please reply.

I forgot to mention that i know NOTHING about Linux, and I’m using this to learn it, because it seems interesting.

hi hubafasdf,

Do you actually have a SLED license?

It’s interesting that you chose to create an own build via SUSE Studio then, and that’s probably not the most effective way to start “learning Linux” :wink:
I’d recommend to download a copy of openSUSE Linux instead, which is the “community edition” and is having a broad user base at the various levels of expertise. Once you got accustomed to Linux in general that way and are evaluating Linux for a professional environment, you should come back to SLED to verify it fits your business needs.

SLED (SuSE Linux Enterprise desktop) is a professionally supported distribution focussing on the needs of business users. openSUSE is more open to include a much broader range of software, but has a much shorter update cycle to provide more current versions of packages to the users.

Jens

What Jens said and also the best way to play around with a new operating system is in a virtual machine. There’s free virtualisation software available such as VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ or VMware Player https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads, (VMware don’t make it very easy to find the download link for the free version for VMware Player!)

So get yourself a copy of one of those for whatever your host operating system is, a copy of openSUSE from http://software.opensuse.org and if you have quetions about openSUSE, head to the openSUSE forums http://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php or the general support pages http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Browse#Support

If it’s text mode, use tab to move between controls. If it’s the graphical front-end, then you should be able to just click on it.

Whether or not you purchased SLED won’t matter for running an appliance built on it - you won’t get updates, because that’s what the subscription you pay for when purchasing SLED gets you (that and support).

I’d agree with the others, though - if you are unfamiliar with Linux, building it with SUSE Studio is a much less effective way to get started. Grab an openSUSE 12.3 live DVD image from opensuse.org and give that a try instead.
