Oooh, this does sound good.
I shall bore the list one more time with the tale of how I was the
first UK customer for the SuSE email/collaboration suite about ten
years ago.
Back then, choosing an email and authentication server was not the
almost automatic "Get MS Exchange" it is today, and I was looking for
a replacement for Netscape if anyone remembers that far back.
The SuSE product came on a DVD, and installed itself on a bare metal
server from scratch - these days that's not so impressive, but it was
then,
ie. you did not have to first install a Linux box then break out an
extra set of CDs - everything came out of the box, and worked
together.
Maybe Novell can now repeat the exercise.
