I agree with Carlos, you never use an experimental OS in a production environment, you're just asking for problems. IMNSHO You really should be using SLES for production machines, that's what it is geared towards.
Different people have different definitions of 'production machine' - Mind, for some their 'primary workstation', 'home server' or 'private website' is their production machine - Tumbleweed can serve those uses very well and keep them up-to-date. If the machine happens to have a downtime of 2 days (just a bad assumption), there is no real damage done An enterprise relying on the technology though is less likely to find their fun in Tumbleweed and any rolling release for the matter - they are more likely to care for stability and the support offerings around SLE - version numbers do not care. Without further knowing what your peer talks about when he mentions 'production machine' - you cannot do an assessment of the risk factors that implies for him. Not even a bad consultant would do that without asking back... Cheers, Dominique
