FYI: SuSE officially release 8.1 yesterday.



SuSE officially released 8.1 yesterday. My copy arrived on my doorstep 
yesterday. They have had it available for preorder on their web site.
http://www.suse.com/index_us.html

Starting with 8.0, SuSE has fully adopted the Linux Standards Base (LSB), 
and manual system configuration is very similar to Red Hat and the Red Hat 
derivatives. They have done away with /etc/rc.config. They still have a 
central configuration utility, YaST2, but you don't need to use it. YaST 
also supports the online update service (there is a command line utility 
also so you can set up a cron job).
