Hi, On September 3rd we released the final regular maintenance update for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This marks the end of the 6 month parallel maintenance period for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 / SP2. The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 product line continues to be maintained and supported. This means that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SP1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise SDK 11 SP1 are now unmaintained and further updates will only update the corresponding 11 SP2 product variants. For customers that want to stay on the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 codebase we however offer a seperate "Long Term Servicepack Support": SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 continues in Long Term Service Pack Support mode for 3 more years.
