People are forgetting that openSUSE is the 'experimental' software which the "lab bunnies" are given for free to test, to report on the bugs et al, and have their patience and nerves stretched to the limit and all done with the ultimate aim of producing SUSE.
Uhm, not quite:

"No, we're not - anymore - the testing ground, openSUSE is upstream of SLES"
Thanks for citing me quickly. I was just going to refute Basil and state that openSUSE is a distribution on its own.

Thank you, Andreas, for your response.
I realise that openSUSE is a distribution on it own now - well at least since some recent time.
But then so are Ubuntu and Fedora and Mint and Debian and Red Hat and......all are separate distributions :-) .
However, one cannot help noting the following entry in Wikipedia:
QUOTE
On April 27, 2011 Attachmate completed its acquisition of Novell. Attachmate split Novell into two autonomous business units, Novell and SUSE. Attachmate has no plans to change the relationship between SUSE (formerly Novell) and the openSUSE project.
UNQUOTE
The question now needs to be asked and clarified: where does SLES fit in - is it in the openSUSE "camp" or in the Novell/SUSE "camp"?
There is no Novell/SUSE anymore and thus no Novell/SUSE camp ;) SUSE is the main sponsor of the openSUSE project. SUSE Linux Enterprise is using openSUSE as it's upstream.
