[HLUG] Anyone used SUSE disks that were given out at some meeting?

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

Thanks.  What are people's choices on enterprise Linux distros?  As I said I
am used to Debian, but like some of the features of Suse, which are just
annoying to always have to go and configure in Debian.

Andrew.

Andrew,

If it's the same as the trial you can download from the novell website it
will 
continue to function, but you can't get updates beyond the trial period,
same 
for novell linux desktop, so you can either manually patch it, buy a support

subscription from novell, or use plain suse linux rather than SLES.
