But that's not the point. The point is that SLED is way to expensive for the consumer market. But has the stability which SUSE lacks.
yeah, I strongly agree with that ... SLED is too expensive. I doubt that many who use it would pay "retail price" of $50 / year, though. And, if it were bundled by Dell or some other OEM, it *hopefully* would include the multi-media licenses and STILL be quite a bit cheaper than $50/year to the OEM. I wonder if SUSE would require end-users to have personal logins to the update site? Or, perhaps the OEM would have special system-logins, perhaps keyed by mac address, or something? But from my perspective, even with corp accounts, SLED is too expensive ... expecially given that software is not kept up-to-date for the duration of the support period. The software that COMES WITH IT is security updated ... and sometimes feature updates get slipped in. But, there are no version upgrades at all. So, the verison of firefox and OOo and ... everything else would have to be sufficient for 5 years, unless you are willing to use "unsupported" versions (meaning, if there are issues and you call and are willing to pay support, they will not help) Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
