SuSE Enterprise Server - Opinion Please
Hi, Anyone using SuSE Enterprise Server 9? I would be very glad to hear your opinion, both good and bad. BTW, I have few questions: 1) What proprietary software (from Novell or anyone else) is included in SuSE Enterprise Server 9? 2) What is the foundation of SuSE Enterprise Server 9? SuSE Linux 9.2 or 9.3? 3) Cost of the SuSE Enterprise Server 9 is for one server, or it can be installed on any number of servers, Like SuSE Linux itself? 4) Does it include Open Exchange? Thanks in advance. Andrei

It has a lot of web based system management on it but other than that I don't know.
2) What is the foundation of SuSE Enterprise Server 9? SuSE Linux 9.2 or 9.3?
AKAIK it's it's own build, but closest to 9.1 IMO.
3) Cost of the SuSE Enterprise Server 9 is for one server, or it can be installed on any number of servers, Like SuSE Linux itself?
You can install it on as many machines as you want but the license gives you support and patches for 1 box only.
4) Does it include Open Exchange?
No that's extra.

Hi,
Anyone using SuSE Enterprise Server 9? We have it in our lab, but I'm not sure what the license restrictions are. You can get onto Novell's site and find out. We have a corporate license. The basic thing that SuSE does with their releases is they have a common build such that SuSE 9.x and SLES 9.0 start from the same place with the SLES products being on a 2-year release cycle with service packs and updates along the way where the Open SuSE and SuSE retail products are more cutting edge and have shorter release cycles.
SLES 9 is designed as a server product and does not have things such as a compiler on the release itself. If you want the compiler you download the SDK (free). The exact contents of the release is also available on SuSE.COM. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
