Does anyone know when a new version on Enterprise Server will be available?

SLES 8 will be released in November for ia32 and other platforms at the end of the year.

I know SLES 8 is UnitedLinux, but will it include things like the new 8.1 YaST? Thanks Donavan Pantke

Yes, since 8.1 is the big beta test for United Linux ;-) The SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (now also UL) concept always was to use a previous "regular retail release" as base for the enterprise product, with as few changes as possible - i.e. only bug fixes and maybe some special-request stuff (special kernel stuff mostly) from big partners like Oracle which gets tested a lot (by them mostly) before it's included. So whenever you buy a SuSE Linux x.y just before we release a new Enterprise Server you are a beta tester ;-) Michael
