help on OpenSUSE installation

[Bruno Noronha]

mx5450,

             if I were you, I would think of changing the OS. I tried to use
Suse for freeRADIUS installation and it didn't work. It has some exceptions
and I wasn't able to find a work around.
            I'd suggest CentOS 5.2 or Ubuntu (last server version). They
work fine wich freeRADIUS.

regards, Bruno
