When VMware Workstation/Player does an Easy Install of SUSE Linux (and most other Linuxes), it does this:
For Linux, both of them contain autoinst.xml files to automate the boot process.
It has a few drawbacks including a hardcoded boot partition size and unmount problems, so if you don’t want those, follow the guidelines at How to Stop Easy Install in VMware Workstation.

PDF User Manual for Avira AntiVir Server | Unix and Avira AntiVir Professional | Unix.
It is not completely up to date (as most installations are now RPM based), but gives great background information.
If you are using SUSE Linux, then note that as of openSUSE 11.3, there is a glitch when you use the SUSE security repository (see Bug 633771 – antivir cannot be installed because of missing libdazuko.so).
Basically there are two solutions to this:
The former seems to be a viable solution as per PDF User Manual, the installation proceeds as follows:
linking /usr/lib/AntiVir/guard/libdazuko.so to /usr/lib/AntiVir/guard/
libdazuko3compat2.so...
And indeed it does: these are the steps to follow, first for adding the security repository, then to install the package (click on images to view larger versions): Read the rest of this entry »

Since SuSE 11.2, when installing then the CLI version of YaST looks horrible on the first (Ctrl-Alt-F1) console before you do your first reboot.
Workarounds:

YaST before reboot
YaST after reboot

Today my router had an IP-address change, but didn’t update the DynDNS.org information in my My Host Services | My Dyn Account. Which meant I could not “phone home”, as I didn’t know the new IP-address**.
Lesson re-learned:
During initial router configuration, watch the router logs, as you might have accidentally updated the DynDNS.org by hand, not by your router
Had this in the ASUS Wireless Router RT-N66U – General Log:
Jun 11 08:01:53 notify_rc : restart_ddns Jun 11 08:01:53 ddns: clear ddns cache file for server setting change Jun 11 08:01:53 ddns update: connected to members.dyndns.org (204.13.248.111) on port 80.

The problem: hostname should not only be the name of the host, but the FQDN of the host. Read the rest of this entry »

Just noticed that in openSUSE 12.x, A plain halt will not shutdown the system properly.
On my system, it would leave the screen as shown on the right:
Only halt -p works, none of the other hints in the shutdown does not power off thread work, nor the acpi=off or acpi=oldboot settings.
The odd thing: a plain reboot still works properly.
If someone knows a better workaround: please let me know in the comments.
I hope they will fix this in a future openSUSE version; at least for 12.1 they have a “CHECKIT” marker in the documentation, but it has disappeared as of the 2.3 docs, but still fails:
5.4. systemd: System Shutdown
CHECKIT for 12.3. Is this entry still required?
To halt and poweroff the system when using systemd, issue halt -p or shutdown -h now on the command-line or use the shutdown button provided by your desktop environment.
Note: A plain halt will not shutdown the system properly.
Luckily, my openSUSE is a VM, which I can reboot from the ESXi host.
On a physical system, you will end up without any option to resurrect the system.
After installing antivir, a plain halt works sort of: it says it is halted, but ESXi still thinks it is not:
After installing antivir, a plain halt appears to work, but it doesn’t.
ESXi is sure the system didn’t actually power down.
