Just imagine the damage for server-type machines! Novell will be inundated with reports. Even for SLES/SLED: suppose an office where you need to retrieve a file from a shared folder of a co-worker while he is away.
A server machine that runs openSUSE is something different than a server running SLES. I hope we agree on that.
Of course, but irrelevant. Both are servers, only that one pays you >:-)
This forced compliance thing is absurd, IMO.
for some, perhaps. For others not. the reason, as said on other place is Energy Star compliance.
OpenSUSE is not certified, so it can not be compliant. AFAIK, it only applies to machines sold with software and both certified. And it does not apply to servers: pg. 11, secction 3 - "All products, except for desktop-derived servers". Also, AFAIK, the product has to be labeled on the box as such with instructions: - ---- Either option must at least include the following information: # Notice that the computer has been shipped enabled for power management and what the time settings are; and # How to properly wake the computer from Sleep mode; - ----
If openSUSE 11.1 will have this activated by default needs to be decided by coolo and his product manager. It could - and may be should - different than an Enterprise product.
It is different. If you have to add this (does KDE enforce this compliance?) you must make it configurable via Yast. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
