Well I would hope so. After all, we here in opensuse land wring the bugs out of that codebase for them. Then they turn around and shrink wrap it with the same support options you get on the web for free.
I was under the (mis)impression that SLED10 patches were only good for the time that you are paying support.
Thats exactly what I meant to say. You get the same patches that are free for opensuse, but you only get them for sled if you pay.
After the second or third year, sled is way more expensive than XP.
I guess you've never worked in computer support in the corporate world. Companies often buy IT support. The question becomes what do they get for that money?
Unfortunately where Sled10 is concerned it's not a non-business proposition. I wonder if Novell would consider a "home" edition that you buy to use for personal use only and it has patches till end of life. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
