I had a discussion with my local LUG and a member had some interesting threads to share. Basically it showed that SUSE 9.0 is not really a production level version. For production level use, it is recommended to go with the Enterprise version of SUSE. Has other people got this impression?
I think it depends on what you're using it for. We use Pro 9.1 for workstations, we're a cash generating company, they work like a charm - easier to install and maintain than other distros we've tried. I would think that classifies them as "production level". My experience has been that "enterprise" linux editions tend to run with slightly older code than the more adventurous leading edge releases like SUSE Pro or Redhat Fedora. More things have been debugged, there's a larger support team available(and you're paying for it), and you'll probably get a little more sleep at night knowing you're not being a guinea pig for new code. Personal experience for me, however, has been that 9.1 Pro is particularly stable and works wonderfully. Cheers, J.C.
