And now to that openSUSE is added. AFAI understand openSUSE is an offshoot of [2] SuSE Linux Professional. Is Novell still going to *separately* develop SuSE Linux Professional? (Red Hat does not develop anything other than RHEL, AFAIK.)
No, openSUSE does create SUSE Linux (Professional). There will different editions from it (and most likely not only two, since we do also special versions for magazines and so on), but the base will be the same.
So does this mean that Novell is going to continue SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and Novell Linux Desktop
Of course we will.
and openSUSE is the open project that is going to continue SuSE 9.3 Pro into SuSE 10 and onwards?
Yes exactly.
Also, please tell me what are the target audiences for items 1 2 and 3 in the list above. Thanks.
Novell offers: 1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server target: Everyone that needs a solid, stable, Linux server operating system with a long maintenance cylce and great support/stack offerings. So mostly companys. 2. SUSE Linux Professional is now called SUSE Linux and is developed by the openSUSE project. Target: Everyone that wants the results of the openSUSE project on physical media in a box plus great printed manuals, installation support and additional software. 3. Novell Linux Desktop target: Everyone that needs a solid, stable, Linux desktop operating system with a long maintenance cylce and great support/stack offerings. So mostly companys. Of course there will be other "editions" from SUSE Linux like Adrian said. The download version, special versions for magazines etc... Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, Subsystems "Rules change.
