I've used SLES9 and Suse 8.x, 9.x, still only playing with 10.1
The real difference between SLES and SuSE pro is not tuning, nor stability.* It's patches.
If we accept that upgrading is only a promising path to purgatory, then building on OpenSUSE means you to HAVE to rebuild the servers in 1 year - 18 months because the patches have run out.
If (as I suspect) your time is precious, paying for SLES to get 5 years of patches is a no-brainer.
That said, you will enjoy using OpenSuSE more, it's almost always newer. I've always found running SuSE Pro is like driving a nice sportscar, something I like to show my friends, "Look at this cool feature..." SLES is the company truck, efficient, necessary, dependable, nothing you'd want to show your friends.
Hi Michael, I see your points. But, I still have some questions: 1. Currently my concern is implementing Suse for desktop use. Based from your experience, is there any cost for upgrading to a newer version of SLED? Let's say now I use SLED 10. Then SLED 10.1 comes out, is there any upgrading cost? 2. Regarding the Enterprise version of openoffice. I read that it supports Macros from MS Office. If there is a macro virus in the MS Office file, will SLED be infected by it?
