Okay, I went online today and ordered three new laptops for work. (One to replace my aging 1-year-old laptop.) I wanted high-end 64-bit desktop replacements.
I ordered Dell, knowing that they pre-install Linux on the laptops with no Wintendo tax.
I ordered a Dell M6300 64-bit system with 8G RAM and a pretty big hard drive. The intention is to run it with Virtual box and virtualize win2008, xp and openSUSE.
My question - why is SLES not an option on these? Isn't Novell trying to get into the high-end space?
I can't speak for Dell, but HP has long supported SLED on business laptops along with RHEL. Additionally, HP has supported Linux on most of its servers for a number of years (and if you go back to pre-merger Digital had a direct relationship with Linux back in 1994). -- -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
