Just to confirm what Waldo has said: we will continue to release "the box" - i.e. SuSE Linux Personal and Professional - on an approximately six-monthly release cycle, while SLES will be "powered by UnitedLinux" with a longer release cycle. This is what has already been happening - SLES7 is the current SLES: SLES 8 will appear soon and will be based on UL. UL itself is a core LSB-compliant distribution on top of which the UL members will build their enterprise versions. On Fri, 6 Sep 2002, Waldo Bastian wrote:

I'm not quite clear on the impact of UnitedLiux on future SuSE developments. Does this mean there will be a decline or full stop in SuSE linux releases to focus on the joint project? Or will there ever be a SuSE 9?
The next version of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) will be based on UnitedLinux. (Powered by United Linux (tm))
SuSE Linux Personal and SuSE Linux Professional will not be based on UnitedLinux as this is a Linux especially tailored for Enterprise use. Of course, all changes made for UnitedLinux that will be useful for personal Linux use will be integrated in SuSE Linux Personal and SuSE Linux Professional.
