I think you seem to miss the point that OpenSuse (The one for the community not the enterprise), while I'm sure some Novell people work on it, is not supported by Novell. No guarantees made by Novell for opensuse. Why do you expect Novell to make software that is not free work on a free unsupported platform?
openSUSE is not supported by Novell?
It is not is technical terms, openSUSE support their own product maybe Novell support openSUSE financially
Why are you running opensuse in an enterprise any way?
You miss the point. I am willing to buy the package for openSUSE. Our company already has a site license for all Novell products. The issue is not cost.
It doesn't matter if you buy openSUSE as this would only buy you support for openSUSE Linux and not support from Novell. You are getting confused as to what openSUSE is aimed at: openSUSE is a linux operating systems aimed at the linux community, ie using as a server for Windows clients, a stand alone desktop PC, or a client of a Windows AD. It is not aimed at been used in a Novell enterprise network, yes you can get it to work in a Novell enterprise with a bit of hacking. Novell put money into openSUSE but not to use openSUSE in their network environments. The support you would get would be on openSUSE and not on any Novell integration or products. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server/Desktop(SLES/SLED) is a linux operating system aimed at been used in a Novell enterprise network. It is a version of openSUSE repackaged with extras used for Novell products. Support would include the operating system and if you have a site license all you Novell product integration. I understand that you like to play with other operating systems i am the same but i would suggest if you have a site license use the Novell product you will get full support for what you want to do, and Novell forums are full of people using this product who can help you out.
