There are THREE different ways to acquire Red Hat RHEL or Novell SLES from IBM.
1) IBM offers both as pre-loads on all our servers EXCEPT System z. (Hard to do a pre-load with System z as there is no internal disk!) Normally with this option, service comes from the distributor. 2) IBM offers both via Passport Advantage for all our servers, including System z. Normally with this option, service comes from the distributor. 3) IBM offers both via IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) in conjunction with a service agreement where GTS provides the service. Also, IBM offers IRES for the Point-of-Sale market (retailers) which includes Novell SLES and service from IBM.
