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 >:-)
I disagree with the 'irrelevant'. If you try to drive a VW Beagle like a Ferrari Testerossa, you cannot complain about different driving behavior. If you use openSUSE as a server OS, you should a) know what you do b) be prepared to make adjustments in the default configuration If you expect the same default configuration on a desktop and a server product, something is wrong :) Doesn't hinder you to pay for both :) :)
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
Correct. To avoid being picky: It is prepared to allow compliance easily. You asked for a reason, and someone complained already in this thread about too much pickiness, so let's say 'is prepared for'. That's the reason. Not the fact that someone is aftter you :)
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:
I'm not sure why you mention this? openSUSE is not made for servers? You _can_ use it on a server. If it's wise, good, and recommended - that's something different. [...]
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.
Is it? I thought SLED and openSUSE currently show the same behavior. Stefan -- Stefan Behlert, SUSE LINUX - a Novell business, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
