What if it doesn't pass the test, and you want to try again a year or two later? You can't.
you need susbsciption only to test the update mechanism. you can test the distro as long as you want without that.
and don't be too demanding, trying a commercial product for a very long time mean using it!
I'm thinking of the cases where there is a bug that impedes the product from working for you. You have to wait for a release pack or a new version. It is not a continuous evaluation: you try it once, fails, and a year later you try again to see if the problems were solved. I have had bugs in openSUSE taking two or more years to be solved. Yes, it is true that you can't do that with every business product. With some, you can. And with linux, we expect it. Then there is the case of the will be professional that uses sles for his own training. He is not making a profit, yet. Only if he is hired and the job includes maintaining sles will he buying it - and not him, but the business he now works for. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
