Cleaning Up The Mess
I've just finished upgrading to SuSE 10.0 tonight. I was using 9.3 for my router firewall, and decided to finally take the plunge. First I tried an upgrade, and that didn't work, in more than one way, I'm sure. But, the first thing I noticed was that all three of the network interfaces were scrambled, each with a different IP address than before the upgrade. Good grief. If that part was a mess, who knows what else I'd find wrong?
After that I went ahead and did a new install. That presented some more problems, as I also decided to upgrade to the latest versions of Shorewall, Dansguardian, and PPTP. I think I finally have it all figured out, with the exception of one nagging problem where Dansguadian won't start when the machine boots.
The IT department at the MAF Redlands office uses SuSE Linux, and they are upgrading to version 10.0, which gave me some incentive to try it out.
