I have ordered and am still waiting for (after 2 weeks:( ) S.u.S.E. Linux
5.0 from the USA.

I am wondering a couple of things:

1) is there anyone in Australia running this distribution? or are we all
RedHat and Debian/Slackware/Caldera?
2) Is there a Permedia2 X-Server yet? I've checked the S.u.S.E. X sites
both in the USA and Germany and there seems to be work in progress but
nothing that drives the chip. Second part of this question is: if there
isn't an X-Server for it, is there anyone in OZ running X on this chip with
the standard SVGA server with success. - All I have read so far seems to
indicate that the Permedia family of chips don't really like to be driven
as VESA compatible VGA cards>?

Email me at ivan@sigma.com.au personally - I am currently considering
taking on distribution of this distribution in Australia, perhaps in
co-operation with an ISP who hangs around in here occasionally.

thanks
Ivan
