In my market, (mostly small businesses) deploying SLES, which will be obsolete in two or three years VS Ubuntu with 5 years guaranteed support becomes harder to justify.
How much is this Ubuntu long range product changing over its lifetime? I bet it does not change much.
Does SLES 10 change over its' lifetime?
It won't change much.
Personally, I don't know any small businesses that can afford SLES, or even medium size ones. It comes down to "1 SLES server or 2 Debian/openSUSE/etc Servers". It's rather hard to justify the cost, unless you're running massive applications like Oracle.
Depends on if you want to be able to get support from us or not ;) Ciao, Marcus
