To use directadmin, you need one of these operating systems:

Redhat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0
RedHat Fedora 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
RedHat Enterprise / CentOS 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 (64-bit: 4.1 - 4.4, 5.0)
FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.3, 5.4, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2
Debian Sarge/Woody 3.1/Etch 4.0(BETA)

Out of curiosity, why SuSE?

blackmetal, as I read your question there are two issues.

The first is using SUSE. DirectAdmin isn't supported on SUSE and as far as I know DA has not been tested on SUSE. DA won't instal on SUSE because it checks to see if it's running on a supported distribution before it installs.

The second is doing a full version upgrade and not losing your data.

There's no easy way to do this. RedHat (and CentOS) allow you to leave your home directory intact while doing a complete new install, but there's a lot more to DirectAdmin than just the contents of home.

The way we did this last time was we installed a while new server, and did reseller backups. Once we got the OS and DirectAdmin installed on the new server we first manually created the resellers with the same specifications as they had on the original server, then we restored the backups.

While you could do this on the same server if you had any problems you couldn't refer back to the old server.

Generally if a server was built for RH9 it's probably ancient enough that you might want to install on a new server if that's feasible for you.

You can contact DirectAdmin sales to change your license to work on the new distribution.
