ARM Support Comes To SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
"SUSE announced partner program expansion to include support for 64-bit ARM server processors. This expansion makes available to partners a version of SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 that allows them to develop, test and deliver products to the market using 64-bit ARM chips. To simplify partner access, SUSE has also implemented support for ARM and AArch64 into its openSUSE Build Service. This allows the community to build packages against real 64-bit ARM hardware and the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 binaries." -- source: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/15/07/15/1720216 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
Nice - I assume this will make it possible to run SUSE on the pi? Cheers, William On 16/07/2015 12:25 PM, "Peter Reutemann" <fracpete(a)waikato.ac.nz> wrote:

I don't think so since the announcement is directed at 64-bit arm whereas the Pi is 32-bit arm. But the statement:
To simplify partner access, SUSE has also implemented support for ARM and AArch64 into its openSUSE Build Service.
makes we wonder if not only 64-bit arm (AArch64) they are also announcing 32-bit arm (the "ARM" in the announcement above). Cheers Michael.
Does anyone know if one can actually purchase arm64 hardware (say a developer board) at a reasonable cost? I would love to get my hands on an arm64 system. Cheers Michael. On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 12:25:25PM +1200, Peter Reutemann wrote:
