Good luck with that you'll have an ass load of problems. The reason its stable is the backports and outdated packages. Bleeding edge will only screw you over... just ask KJV... He was on OpenSuSE and had nothing but weird problems. /b On Jan 7, 2010, at 6:15 PM, Bill W. wrote:
Personally, I'm migrating to openSUSE, because I'm tired of RedHat's non-standard kernel backports and outdated packages.
Others in the VoIP industry (ViciDial) recommend SuSE because of their experience with with RedHat's long-standing perl bug, process preemption set to desktop, version number mismatch on packages and non-standard libraries.
But SuSE is not without it's problems. The perl module for FreeSWITCH will compile on SuSE, but FreeSWITCH coredumps when trying to use it. Haven't had time to research that one.
Also, if you're going to use wanpipe with Sangoma cards on SuSE, check with Sangoma to make sure wanpipe will compile on 11.2. It wouldn't compile for me and I reported the bug to Sangoma, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Wanpipe compiles just fine on 11.1.
Having said that, the Suse installation is very similar to CentOS/RedHat. I've run FreeSWITCH on both, and it works just fine on both.
Hope this helps, Bill
