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).
I wonder if the OP meant SLED? I've personally purchased Dell Servers with SLES, so I know its available. It would be unusual to run SLES on a laptop. Not impossible, just sort of odd. I can see why Dell does not offer that combination. http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=bsd&c=us&l=en&cs=04&k=linux&cat=all&x=12&y=14 -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
