Why should we spend additional $349 for SLES 9 if SuSE 9.2 shall install and work on 64-bit platform as it advertised? Doesn't it sound kind of MicroSoftish - paying more money for virtually the same functionality?
IIRC there is more support for the SLES pltform . Aimed at businesses that want someone to choke when things go awry, as they will from time to time. I htink it also includes something like, you won't have to upgrade for X years and will still have all the functionality etc. you expect. We ( Novel/Suse ) will MAKE it work for you. Something like that. You pay extra for the baby sitting and anything else that makes bosses nervous. Eventually, w/ all the new Computer Sci guys graduating , there will be less need for this type of thing. BUT remember if it's a new install, the guys in the big chairs and corner offices want to be assured that they won't get into any problems by okaying the deal. It's a lot of procey CYA in one sense. -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? '
