Yes, Novell likes to see that openSUSE is a kind of base for SLE. It might happen that the openSUSE project makes some decisions that the SLED and SLES folks would do differently and therefore cannot use openSUSE as a perfect base but first need to do some changes - but that would still be a base. On the other hand, this feeding into SLE is a good goal but it's not the only goal. openSUSE is a great distro on its own - and therefore it can be taken as basis for SLE ;) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
