A while ago, Novell announced its plan for maintaining versions of SuSE. For example, SuSE 9.1 is still being maintained (in terms of security patches, at least). How long is this maintenance period? One version? Two versions? ...?

I don't think it has changed recently, so 2 years minimum for tho pro series and 5 years for the SLES series. The 5 year thing is very important to an Enterprise, so I'm glad SUSE/Novell is doing that. FYI: I consult for a large company that recently said Windows Servers are DECLINING technology in their data center. The primary reason was the MS support policy. ie. Win2K drops support this summer. Forcing everyone to move to Win2003. WIn2003 support drops in 2008, so users are only getting 3 years out of each release. My client has decided this is not acceptable. FYI2: They are currently recommending Windows Server based projects move to SLES!!!!!! Greg -- Greg Freemyer
