Hi.

Where can I find the subject ?.

There's no red carept for 10.0,

Andreas

Thanks for the info Andreas. When will there be one ?.

I'm not aware of any plans for it. Btw. some people have used the 9.3 client and AFAIR there's even a cool solutions article about this - but since there's no red carpet channel for 10.0, it might not make sense at all, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

On a related subject. I just discovered that the company that now owns my company has a Novell Enterprise License. That means (they have said) I can get SUSE 10.0 this way. The thing is, they are a Windows shop and are not certain exactly how I would obtain Linux through this mechanism. They do have one SUSE Linux machine set up. But it is there more as a curiosity than anything else. Any pointers to where I should start looking? -- Roger

SUSE 10.0 is a consumer product.

For serious, supported Linux OS for a company take a look at the Enterprise Server 9, Novell Linux Desktop 9 (or Open Enterprise Server 1.0 for a really featureful and advanced system).

So SUSE Linux 10.0 is not available via an Enterprise License? -- Roger

Are you asking because of the discount?

1. a SUSE Linux 10.0 box costs around 60 Euro 2. it can be installed on more than one computer 3. the updates are free, for 2 years, then there are no more updates

So it's not really worth the effort to buy it via Enterprise License. It's also not the best option if you need a desktop OS for more than a dozen PCs of non-techie users. NLD9 would be fit for that.

The Enterprise License makes sense for buying Enterprise products :-)

But I suppose you could buy a SUSE 10.0 box this way if you really, really wanted to.

We already have the enterprise license. Meaning that it is already bought and paid for. Even though price is so small it is not an issue, immediate internal availability is. I just wanted to know how I would go about accessing it. That is, how do Novell expect it to be accessed? On our network? via CDs/DVDs? Do I need a Nerware-aware PC to do this? I have tons of experience with SUSE, but none with Novell Enterprise stuff. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB

It's available for download for anyone who's interested (no Enterprise License needed): http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Download Greetings from Stuhr hartmut
