I disagree with you and fully agree with Martin's opinion quoted above. SLED is not an alternative to openSUSE.
No, SLED is not an alternative, it's a product on its own and one of its main goals is stability. It has a much more appropriate mojo to provide that compared to openSUSE. Yeah it would be so fabulous if openSUSE would be stable and polished, have super new software and nice glitz, but it's damned *HARD* to achieve, technically and financially. SLED has the stability and polish, and reasonably new software. openSUSE has to be the "playground and test bed for freaks". This advances the distro.
hey, no. We really try to keep openSUSE Factory already always usable and move every experimients to a OBS project first. Additionally we do Alpha and Beta releases to improve the stability. So, I consider openSUSE a stable and production ready to use product (if you do not think so, we might need to find out the reasons and to work on that). The difference to SLED is basically that it is not exclusivly focused on desktop usage and that it will not receive a 7 years maintainance (because this is a lot of work, esp. in the last years). bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
