Thing is, that's not Novell's vision for SuSE Pro. You want robustness, stability, ease of use, then Novell Linux Desktop is the product you want, not SuSE Pro.
They've articulated their vision quite clearly here....

From what I can tell, they are *not* looking to take on M$ in the consumer market. They are after the enterprise market, desktops and servers.

Hmmm maybe Novell should rename "SuSE Pro" to "SuSE BETA for PROfessionals" and then qualify it by saying - "This package is for those power users who enjoy debugging our software for us". With the additional caveat - "WARNING! This OS package may NOT be suited for those who want to get real work done. Novell does NOT support it, so buyer beware!"... Might be a bit more honest...
Sorry, couldn't resist... I will go crawl back under my keyboard now.... Marc...
Again I have to say: spot on. I said in this forum last year that when Novell took over SuSE went downhill. Ciao. -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.
