For various niggling reasons, I've been mulling a return to 8.2. I was going to try out XD2 again on a laptop that I hadn't gotten around to upgrading. While I was downloading, I noticed a new subdirectory on Ximian's site. In addition to RH 7.3-9 and SuSE 8.2, there is now a directory called ``sld-10-i586''. I've been watching Nat Friedman's blog with care over the past couple of weeks, and he has hinted a couple times as to something coming on the desktop side. I'm guessing this is it, but what "it" is, exactly, I still don't know. I'd _like_ to think that this stands for "SuSE Linux Distro 10," but that's probably just being too optimistic because of my disappointment in how GTK2 and KDE2 don't get along well enough for my liking. (So I want to either run 8.2 straight up, or stay in Gnome full time. Being as I don't like the Gnome environment in SuSE 9, and I don't think ULB goes far enough, I'm willing to take another look at 8.2 with XD2 before going straight 8.2.) Anyway, I'm probably overlooking something obvious. Does anyone here have a guess as to what ``sld-10'' might refer to?

Then you're probably not of the target group of this product ("maintenance" comes with all of SUSEs business products and is something like YOU for the normal distribution with the difference that the patches have to pass a more rigid test and certification procedur - it also stands for the equivalent of installation support). If you don't need certified and maitained products than you're better (cheaper) off with the normal SUSE LINUX distribution. On the other hand: if you intend to deploy Linux on hundreds or thousands desktops in an enterprise, I bet certificatons and the option to buy support contracts would mean something to you.
