Re: [SLE] 9.3 vs SLES

What would be the merits of taking SLES9 over 9.3 in this case? I do realise that SLES' kernel is probably more optimised for network throughput than 9.3, but will two 100mbit connections actually push 9.3 to it's limits, especially considering the hardware?

The server packages also have a very nice configuration interface, which is better suited for servers, than what's in the desktop version. Incidentally, with the server package, you're paying for the support, that includes updates etc., which are not conveniently available, if you don't pay. There's nothing to stop you from getting a copy of the server and providing your own support.
