On Novell page http://www.novell.com/documentation/index.html?sourceidint=hdr_support_do c there is downloadable documentation for products:
SUSE Linux 10 SUSE Linux 9.3
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Package Descriptions
SUSE Linux Desktop
SUSE Linux Openexchange Server SUSE Linux Retail Solution 8 SSP3
Is SUSE Linus Desktop a part of Linux 9.3 or 10.0?
Does "boxed" distribution contain different documentation?
Is there a description of differences or specifications for SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0?
Where does one obtain the up-to-date product with documentation? First of all, SuSE Linux 10.0 is a complete system similar to SuSE Linux Professional 9.3. The DVD media in the boxed sets contains a complete set of bits and documentation. The boxed set also contains a book, but all that informaiton is fully online.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is designed to be an enterprise server. It does
not contain a lot of the development tools that you get with SuSE Linux,
but there is the SDK that you can download free.
The enterprise distros are designed for servers, and are usually more stable
and less cutting edge. They don't have by default a lot of stuff you might
want on your desktop, and cost more money because you are buying support.
The Openexchange Server and other products just contain specific set ups for
those applications.
The bottom line is if you want a system fro the home or for development,
SuSE Linux 10.0 (boxed set or downloaded) is more than adequate. U
