What about a openSUSE Server Version, just like CentOS or Whitebox ? Perhaps with the same core as SLES? Is there a chance that Novell or openSUSE release such a distribution?
Novell does, it's called SLES.
I know that Novell want to earn money with their Server Product, but I think most of the money will be made with additional services and addons, like the Novell Enterprise Services, Groupwise or eDirectory.
Why should Novell "open" SLES ? That doesn't make any sense, as SLES uses packages that are in SUSE Linux and is made of opensource software you can have on SUSE Linux as well. It's just that it comes with a lot of services and guarantees. (it does have some additional modules, e.g. in YaST2, but nevertheless) But feel free to start a new SUSE variant specialized on servers and based on SUSE Linux 10.0, just like Andreas Girardet does with SUPER: http://opensuse.org/SUPER That's what "openSUSE" is really about ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDIu+ar3NMWliFcXcRAlzOAJwKx4OZHVwscsUzRYFM9ROJLaVGIACfe0rx yGwxZ889iDDZrlgeDlWncDg= =gX8e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
