I installed SLED 10 that came with Linux Format, DVD issue 85 and it looks good. What is the difference between SLED 10 and Suse 10.0 and 10.1. I would like to install apt4rpm on SLED 10, is that possible and any help to do it would be appreciated. jozien

My understanding (via this list) the code base for SLED 10 is SUSE 10.1 and the rpm packages work with it. t o n y -- A.G. (Tony) Nichols I.S.

SLED is the corporate desktop (that's supposed to be clear from the name of the product), while SUSE Linux 10.x is the home desktop. Plenty of info about SLED is on this page http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/

That hardly constitutes an answer. What, pray tell, is a corporate desktop? 99.9999% of corporate workers will answer that question with Windows. SLED is meant for installation on business computers where you don't want the user dinking around with the installation and installing a lot of spyware and viruses. You just want them to use the tools you give them and you want to be able to manage and update the system (or 10,000 desktops company wide) from a central location in an automated way. Its sold by subscription at about $50 per year. It is MUCH more limited than 10.0 or even the 9.x Professional series. Its intended to be. Its intended to be secure from the most dangerous person any company is exposed to: The Employee. Linux users who might frequent this list will be happier with the 10.x series full distros. But SLED is an interesting install. The biggest limitation is that so many businesses need at least some users to run proprietary Windows-Only applications. Most businesses have a hard time running (say) a Medical practice management system or AutoCad on a platform the vendors of said products won't support, even if CrossOver Office will run the application ontop of linux. That is what is preventing wide deployment. That will change. Slowly, but it will change. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
