Differences Between Sun™ Linux 5.0 and Red Hat Linux 7.2
Introduction This document describes the technical differences between the Sun™ Linux 5.0 distribution and Red Hat Linux 7.2 in the areas of RPM package versions, installer function and added Sun Applications. These differences result from Sun Microsystems wanting to provide: • greater ease-of-use with the Linux installer • those packgages applicable to the environment(s) in which the Sun Linux distribution will be deployed • packages based on technical merit and the most recent update versions of particular packages • packages that respond to customer needs
A key goal for this initial release was to remain as closely compatible as possible with Red Hat 7.2 for the benefit of customers. This document covers the following areas: • Differences in how the Linux installer works • A table of RPM version numbers for both Linux distributions • Additional Sun Applications present in Sun Linux 5.0 • Minor modifications to Linux applications • Some notes on the Java™ platform • Additional information For specific operational details, refer to the user documentation for the Sun LX50 server.
Sun Linux 5.0 installer The installer for Sun Linux 5.0 is designed specifically for easy installation on the Sun LX50 server with minimum user input; as such, it does not support a general-purpose installation on a wide array of x86-based hardware. If you add a new hard disk, replace a failed system disk, or for any other reason need to restore the system using the CD-ROMs for a standard default restore, the installer will perform the task with almost no input from the user. You can choose to perform your own disk partioning or, if using the server with two or more disks, you can set up a RAID configuration.
Differences between Sun Linux and Red Hat Linux 1-1
Chapter 1: Differences Between Sun™ Linux 5.0 and Red Hat Linux 7.2
General Sun Linux 5.0 installer The general Sun Linux 5.0 installer has the following features: • Uses a kickstart file, with a specification determined by a launch script which examines the Sun LX50 server and proposes a suitable configuration. • Sends a greater amount of log information to the serial port during installation. This information details each individual package as it installs, and several of the post-install steps that are performed. • Halts after a successful install, instead of automatically rebooting. • Provides a single-button OS restore using the default disks and configuration. • Does not support locales other than EN (English) at this time. • Automatically ejects CD-ROMs and senses when the next one is inserted. • Defaults to a character-based LILO boot loader to support booting through the serial console port.
Sun Linux 5.0 LILO boot loader The Sun Linux 5.0 Linux Loader (LILO) boot loader has the following features: • Adds LILO entries for the serial console port and display, for each kernel option listed at boot time. • Defaults to using lba32 with LILO, so that the disk layout of the kernel is more flexible. • Forces the enterprise kernel to be installed. Normally, this is installed only if certain BIOS attributes are found. • Does not make a LILO entry for ‘DOS’. This protects against the installer noticing the /diag partition during the install process and making a LILO boot entry for it. • Is configured for serial-port operation, and not for a graphical console boot.
Differences in configuration of Installer Networking The differences in the configuration of Installer Networking are: • The Installer sets the networking option as “uninstalled” so that kudzu detections occur during the first boot. • During this first boot, the user has a finite time to select and configure the network. If this timeout is missed, the user can enter the command /usr/sbin/setup after the boot is complete to configure the networking option.
Disk drives The details concerning disk drives in the Sun Linux 5.0 installer are the following: • When two drives are present in the Sun LX50 server during installation, the installer defaults to a RAID1 configuration. • The Sun Linux 5.0 installer was enhanced to permit the kickstart install to function reliably with RAID. • The installer forces the /diag partition to be the first partition on the hard disk, so that the Intel motherboard diagnostics work correctly. • The installer creates the smallest partition first on the disk drive and proceeds to the largest partition. This was done because the BIOS requires the /diag partition to be the first partition on the disk drive. The Red Hat 7.2 installer creates the largest partition first and proceeds to the smallest. • The installer does not use the LABEL= format in the directory /etc/fstab, since it does not work correctly in all configurations (for example, with RAID). • The installer does not force all new non-Linux partitions to be of type DOS (for the /diag partition).

Comparison of RPM Packages between Red Hat Linux 7.2 and Sun Linux 5.0
Display and mouse The details concerning the display and mouse in the Sun Linux 5.0 installer are the following: • Forces the configuration of the ATI Mach64 framebuffer for the Sun LX50 server. • Skips the probe for a display-monitor type. • Forces a 640x480 resolution, even if the monitor can support a higher resolution. Since the Sun Linux 5.0 installer is largely hands-off and the user does not select the display-monitor settings, a base VGA resolution of 640 x 480 is configured to ensure clean, legible graphics during the installation. The display-monitor settings can then be modified by the user after reboot through the Xconfigurator program. • Probes for a mouse, but does not bring up a confirmation menu. • Does not abort if a mouse is not present.
Comparison of RPM Packages between Red Hat Linux 7.2 and Sun Linux 5.0 Table 1 provides a comparison of the different versions of the RPM packages between Red Hat Linux 7.2 and Sun Linux 5.0 (delivered on CD-ROM).
Important: Table 1 lists only the differences between Red Hat Linux 7.2 and Sun Linux 5.0. It does not list all RPM packages included with Sun Linux 5.0. For example, Sun Linux 5.0 includes many RPM packages for Gnome. These are not listed here, since the versions are the same as in Red Hat Linux 7.2.
Note: Depending on the hardware configuration of your Sun LX50 server, along with other ✍ options, not all of these Sun Linux 5.0 RPMs are installed on the hard disk drive after installation.
