I wanted to install Icecast on my Suse Linux machine. Now I dont know the version of it but it shows 1586 something so I think it might be 9. Now the catch is i dunno how to install Icecast on my machine so if any1 havein the knowledge pls share it coz I have to submit it as my project. Thanks

Also pls suggest me a name for my project. My project consists of a Server in Tux that provides net access, shares disk space and streams audio for win and tux machines. Pls suggest me a name im too noob in naming conventions.

Ok since no one knows how to install Icecast I got it installed (man that was easy). So now I want to know how to install anything off the net that is yum has it in Fedora I wanted to know what does that thing in Suse and what are the commands that are to be issued for that.

Just an apt-get install icecast-client icecast-server got IceCast installed on my system.

Your server tries to do everything, i am not sure what name you can give it. However you might want to install the following daemons to accomplish your task.

1) Net Access : Install Squid.
2) Share disk space. Install NFS server. After installing NFS server you might want to install NIS service also, which provides user authentication management from a single place.
3) Streaming? Install icecast. I haven't done much R&D with this.

but APT works on Debian only. And you're running SuSE.

ps: you'll get email support from me if you are using Debian.
