Hey Mark:
I looked at those wiki instructions for OpenSUSE a while ago too, and they
are rather terrifyingly long. I think it's completely unnecessary to mention
how to install OpenSUSE. Since, if a person had the option, it would make
more sense from a community support perspective just to go with Debian or
Ubuntu.
I'm not familiar with Debian at all at this point, except as a front-end
user, but I don't see why the debian repositories "would" work. That said, I
remember Chris Cormack saying that it might not be a bad idea for someone to
put together RPM packages. I seem to remember him also mentioning that
OpenSUSE is quite common amongst Indian Koha users, so maybe someone out
there has a script for creating and disseminating RPMs.

Greetings,
A person I know was telling me about a project they have in OpenSUSE. So, I
downloaded it. I'm installing it. And then I thought, "Hey, does Koha work
on this?"
The installation is downloading RPM's after all. So, I looked on the Wiki
for OpenSUSE.
I thought my Ubuntu tarball instructions were super-long. These instructions
even tell the person how to install OpenSUSE?! Isn't that a tad out of
scope? Next, these are for 3.0, which again is out of date. And lastly,
these are so tarball oriented, when I currently have no reason to believe
that the debian repositories won't work.
Any thoughts?
GPML,
Mark Tompsett
