Hi all, 

To my understanding (and I am seeking verification for this) Novell bases its 
official SLES/SLED distributions on openSuSE. Is the "codebase" for the 
official distributions a fork from some openSuSE version? In other words, does 
Novell take a snapshot of openSuSE version X to produce SLES Y? 

There reason I am asking, is because I would like to produce RPMs for both 
openSuSE and SLES and was wondering if I can use openSuSE for both. For 
instance, if SLES 10 SP1 is really openSuSE 10.1 with super polishing and 
support, I could use openSuSE 10.1 and have the same kernel symbols, C 
libraries, package names and dependencies, etc. Therefore I could build RPMs 
for SLES without having to pay for a license. 

Or is openSuSE entirely unrelated to Novell's official distros? 

Thanks. 

P.S. I did try web searches for things such as "openSuSE / SLES compatibility 
matrix" "SLES based on openSuSE" and found nothing.
