SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Deployment Guide
Previous Page Home Next Page

Deployment Guide

This guide is intended for use by professional network and system administrators during the actual planning, deployment, configuration, and operation of SUSE® Linux Enterprise. As such, it is solely concerned with ensuring that SUSE Linux Enterprise is properly configured and that the required services on the network are available to allow it to function properly as initially installed. This guide does not cover the process of ensuring that SUSE Linux Enterprise offers proper compatibility with your enterprise's application software or that its core functionality meets those requirements. It assumes that a full requirements audit has been done and the installation has been requested or that a test installation, for the purpose of such an audit, has been requested.

This guide contains the following:

Deployment

Learn how to install your system manually, how to use network installation setups, and how to perform an autoinstallation. Configure the installed system with YaST to adapt it to your requirements.

Administration

SUSE Linux Enterprise offers a wide range of tools to customize various aspects of the system. This part introduces a few of them.

System
