Thanks for the input...
Would there be any advantage to setting up the ZEO server by tarball, and setting up the multiple ZEO clients as YAST2 installed. I haven't setup the new 2.7-based ZEO yet, only 2.6-based.
With 2.7 ZEO is installed as part of Zope (but not used) So no more extra tarballs. Just create as many Zope clienst using mkzopeinstance and one ZEO using mkzeoinstance.
How stable is SuSE 9.1, new kernel right, as to Python & Zope, threads and such? I read a post somewhere with concerns, with a 2.6 beta.
We are using 9.1 on some of the development boxes, no Problem known.
Any scripts for backup on the new 2.71 arrangement?
Nothing changed since 2.6 in this realm Robert

There are various problems with using a Zope setup that is included with a Linux distribution:
- They are almost always outdated
- They employ their own policies as far as software layout is concerned that might conflict or at least have nothing in common anymore with a standard from-source install. This can become problematic when you need to try and stitch a package in that is not also pre-built for that specific setup.
- As the never-ending questions about "I installed Zope RPM from XYZ and now I cannot log in" it seems that these RPM setups, since they can't insert the step to create the admin user during install like the source version can, make it harder for inexperienced Zope users
- On the mailing lists users of such built-in packages are much more likely to be greeted with silence or told to upgrade or install from source if they encounter problems. No one wants to debug problems potentially caused by packaging, and few people want to help with outdated packages.
IMHO what it amounts to is that it's *not* easier to use preconfigured and pre-built packages. It is potentially way more frustrating.

So I would expect that you would not have the same version of Zope delivered via SuSE as the one you downloaded and installed yourself on windows.
I would: 1) install Zope from SuSE cd's.
NO! Do not do that!
Install both Python and and Zope from Source
It is dead easy and done in a coupple of minutes.
Otherwise you do not know what you have. And you can not use Zope V2.7x great configuration policies.
I do run Zope on a couple of Suse boxes (8.1-9.1). First I did Jerry proposes. However installing from the sources is far easier.
