sahafeezi am looking at a replacement for a w2k3 box for a windows network. i have looked at rhle5 and sles10. both have have left me a bit underwelmed. 03:15
sahafeezsles10 has very nice ldap-samba-user controller. is that something i can find in ubuntu03:20
knix__sahafeez, go with Ubuntu server - its rox03:20
knix__sahafeez, I would search the forums for that03:20
sahafeezhum, not what i hoped to hear. i have looked and it looks like a bit of jumping thru hoops. the nice thing about the sles10 is the integration is out of the box. if i have too do a lot of work, i would be inclined to just use gentoo03:20
knix__Kewl, we thats what you get when you pay for sles1003:20
ajmitchright, ubuntu server is lacking some of that integration still, but it's a definite focus for the next release03:20
sahafeezquestion, i see that the desktop is at 7.x but server is at 6.10?03:20
Burgworknope03:20
Burgwork7.04 is out tomorrowish, for both desktop and server03:20
Burgworkwhat do you do with that 2k3 box?03:20
ajmitchhi Burgwork 03:21
Burgworkhey ajmitch03:21
sahafeezfile, print, AD, exchange. 03:21
knix__anyone feel llike helping with a server ish?03:21
Burgworkthe full gammit, eh?03:21
sahafeezi have settled on opengroupware for the exchange replacemnet.03:21
sahafeezshould i wait for 7.04 to test?03:22
Burgworkhmm, I would use 6.06 for that, as you need longer term suppor03:23
Burgworkt03:23
Burgworkdon't need, but it is nice to have03:23
sahafeezso there will be no support for the 7.04 release?03:23
ajmitchthere will be the standard 18 months support03:24
Burgworkno, there is support, just not as long03:24
ajmitch5 years for 6.06 server03:24
sahafeezwhat is the kernel on 6.06/6.10 - i ask because one of the big issues i have had with sles is that my new 9650se is not supported out  of the box. it was easy enough to install the driver in the install, however the yast update to anew kernel, which says it has the support, did not and now i have an unbootable box that is not easy to fix 03:25
sahafeezbtw, i am looking for a list of the difference between desktop and server on the ubuntu site. cannot seem to find it.03:26
Burgworkin what way?03:26
Burgworkthey have similar kernels, with the same low level userspace stuff03:26
sahafeezsorry what did the in what way question apply to? the difference?03:27
Burgworkthe desktop and server for a specific Ubuntu version share the same package respositories03:28
sahafeezbtw, thanks for answering the questions. it is always a good sign when the irc group is responsive and polite. 03:28
Burgworksetting up what you have will take a bit of work03:28
sahafeezok, but what makes server = server and not desktop03:28
Burgworkthe default server install is basically the bare minimum to get the computer up03:29
Burgworkthe default desktop is GNOME plus some bits03:29
Burgworkyou can see what they contain via looking at the seeds03:29
Burgworkjust a sec for the url03:29
Burgworkhttp://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.feisty/files03:30
sahafeezlooking....thanks03:31
sahafeezi see that the support company is in the postgres biz. that is good as opengroupware is postgres only for the most part.03:33
sahafeezi see the bit about the support diff between 6.06 and 6.10. will there be support offerd for 7.0403:34
Burgworkyes03:36
Burgworkall versions of Ubuntu are supported for 18 months03:36
Burgwork6.06 is unique in that it is supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server03:37
sahafeezcan you buy support past that?03:37
sahafeezi think i will wait for 7.04 as i have had major issues with the others on the hardware i am useing as it is very very new03:38
Burgworkfor that you need to contact Canonical03:38
Burgworkthe support I mentioned is for security and is free03:39
Burgworkactual somebody-on-the-phone support costs money03:39
sahafeezok. thanks for your help. i will try it out.03:41

[g2] so just those 2 are all that's needed ?10:02
[g2] and do you know if the same kernel will be used as desktop ?10:03
lionelno, it is not the same kernel10:03

lionelserver kernel is suffixed by "-server"10:04

[g2] I could probably just install linux-image-.....10:04
