You cant update it via suses online update feature without a key/password something. So its full of kernel bugs as is.

You might be able to get one - But I doubt it.

Hi everybody I installed a SLES8 from the isos contained on one of the free dvd from Novell.

My question is: Is that version crippled in any way? i mean, will it stop working after one month or something like that? i couldn't find a readme telling that, but i always doubt about 'evaluation software' (YKWIM).

Linux vendors do not cripple their products. You do not need to be concerned about expiration, but as Sheridan mentioned, it is an as-is release with zero support. If you want to upgrade anything, you are on your own. Also, remember that SLES8 is the 2.4 kernel and SLES9 is the 2.6 kernel.

And don't forget that you cannot use your server in production or for commercial needs. Laurent Renard
