IIRC there is more support for the SLES pltform . Aimed at businesses
that want someone to choke when things go awry, as they will from time
to time. I htink it also includes something like, you won't have to
upgrade for X years and will still have all the functionality etc. you
expect. We ( Novel/Suse ) will MAKE it work for you. Something like
that. You pay extra for the baby sitting and anything else that makes
bosses nervous. Eventually, w/ all the new Computer Sci guys graduating
, there will be less need for this type of thing. BUT remember if it's
a new install, the guys in the big chairs and corner offices want to be
assured that they won't get into any problems by okaying the deal. It's
a lot of procey CYA in one sense.
