Okay, I went online today and ordered three new laptops for work. (One to replace my aging 1-year-old laptop.) I wanted high-end 64-bit desktop replacements.
I ordered Dell, knowing that they pre-install Linux on the laptops with no Wintendo tax.
I ordered a Dell M6300 64-bit system with 8G RAM and a pretty big hard drive. The intention is to run it with Virtual box and virtualize win2008, xp and openSUSE.
My question - why is SLES not an option on these? Isn't Novell trying to get into the high-end space?
I can't speak for Dell, but HP has long supported SLED on business
laptops along with RHEL. Additionally, HP has supported Linux on most
of its servers for a number of years (and if you go back to pre-merger
Digital had a direct relationship with Linux back in 1994).
