[ale] Newbie and Dual install

[Greg]

Errr.  Ok.  20 minutes of Googling revealed a ton of rumours and those
saying there is no/will be no Suse 9.2 Personal version ... some said the
reason was that many folks installed Personal and whined because they
thought they were getting Pro .. some said it was Novell's fault ... blah
blah blah.  Several reviews said there was no real difference between 9.1
and 9.2.

So.  I don't know the deal.  Perhaps an email to Novell/Suse would clear up
the confusion ?  I hope that Novell is not going to do to Suse what RH did -
or start to pull support from Suse's mail/contact/PIM products just to get
rid of a competitor to their own.  However this wouldn't surprise me.
Somehow I don't really see Novell as a linux company nor one that has a
history of Open Source involvement.  I also thought that Suse selling out to
Novell was a stupid error based on greed.  When I think of dunderhead IT
companies that had a great deal and screwed it up I always think of Novell
(and Sun and Netscape). Well - I guess I better hang on to my Suse 9.1 and
earlier distros (I buy Suse for the many multimedia apps on it mainly).

But if they do go the same greedy corporate way as RH then it's just another
reason to support non-corporate projects.

However the OP and OPr (original problem) was installing gcc - was it not ?
I would think that this could be done on any linux distro.

All the references I saw there were either 9.2 pro or 9.1 personal.

This too refers to 9.1 personal.
