first, The name of this product is SuSE Enterprise Server 8 and it means....SuSE takes the responsibility to provide the newest configuration in this package. Man, this SuSE Enterprise Server 8 has only KDE 3.0 and a lot of old software even this is the newest version of enterprise edition package.
second, I got this error message : " Sie haben einen fehlerhaften Registriercode angegeben! " if I tried to use my valid registration code (the number is written on my "SuSE maintenance Program" card) for this SuSE Enterprise Server 8 on this site : http://support.suse.de/form .
I hope you see a lot of ridiculous things in this package.
Each software or any product, if they use "Enterprise" as the name of their product must be as complete as possible because it is used by an enterprise and because it cost very expensive, included : Microsoft, Sun Solaris, CISCO etc.
Well, anyway I learned from this experience that not all of the SuSE product satisfies their customers...
Enterprise uses the latest stable version of the software. The newer versions of the packages you mentioned haven't proven themselves as mission critical as of yet. You wouldn't want to run them on a Enterprise Server no matter what. I think you have the whole general concept of Enterprise confused. If you used any other enterprise software from other vendors you'll see the same thing. Except for microsoft software to some degree. You should not be running bleeding edge software on a server, you'll run into a boatload of problems, and regret your decision. chris
