There is only a limited energy available for openSUSE releases and their mainteance updates. If you --- as a professional --- need more for your customer than what the community provides, much longer maintenance, certified hardware, higher-end hardware, certified applications for your customer, then both your customer and you will be better served with SLE.
Unfortunately I can only disagree with this. I've try several time to place SLE as the key stone for infrastructure. (Small and Mid-size) and each time I was hit by 2 points. Most of the time the technologies available in SLE were too behind with the project needs. For some just a question of bad timing, with the release of SP Others just feature absolutely not available (Replacing any Microsoft AD for example), our samba4 packaging is totally lacking this. So the option was to use openSUSE for the available technologies, and also too much time, let the customer in a non-free world. This sucks, sorry to say that. SLE is perfect once you know you will need it for 3 to 5 years (or more). -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
