I'm fairly new to Linux and was wondering about how far down in the software layers the difference between SLSE and SL Pro run. Do they both use the same kernel? Do they both use the same Borne shell? Is it just the additional layers on top of those for supporting server functionality that makes up the difference between them?
As the suse team says, ":Dont get mad, get moving", start using linux for your regular daily use, download what suits you the best. Description in short is as follows. SLES - For servers, SLD - For Enterprise desktop. SLPro - Everything is possible here, but it is the always the latest stuff and ahead of all other products. Usually has some very small bugs, but also packs with a huge list of features over any other linux distribution. SLPersonal - For home use, no servers included. The technical specs will be similar for each version, so SLPro 8 and SLES 8, will have similar versions of the kernel (may differ slightly). I would also add that if you are not sure what you need then go with Professional, get it, and stop wondering what kernel or what bash it is using, just get moving with your actual work. This does not mean that you dont have a hack value with SuSE, but it is so easy to use that you dont need to hack, but if you want to hack into the internals it packs a number os softwares (maynot be available on all other distros) which you may love to hack. Hope this helps. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own
