Good discussion, so I just thought I would add my 2 cents... Ubuntu, SuSe, and Red Hat have different models. SLES and SLED are targeted toward the enterprise and include support options. They are also more stable releases. The paid-for OpenSuSE includes only installation assistance.
Actually, there is a lot of similarities between RH's and Novell's models, with one important part which is missing for Novell offerings: 1. Payed enterprise - RH Enterprise - SLED,SLES 2. Free community (bleeding edge) - Fedora - OpenSuse 3. Free enterp. - CentOS - xxxx I know, that RH has nothing to do with CentOS, and that CentOS is completely separate entity, but looks like RD are OK with it, as this provides free version of their enterprise product to test and use in small shops w/o support, etc. And if you already have installed base, and people familiar with the product - it is more likely to choose the original, when you have tto make large scale (and paid) deployment. So, what we really need is a group of enthusiasts to put the effort to create something similar from SLES. Even with a silent support of the idea from Novell. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
