Well, fedora has always been bleeding edge, and redhat has always denigrated it, saying that it's for hobbyists only. OTOH suse has historically been perfectly suitable for corporate use, but novell does encourage the use of sles instead, and so, unfortunately, they have also made disparaging comments about opensuse and hobbyists. The big difference is that fedora is a completely different codebase from red hat enterprise, while suse and sles are the same code base. In practical tersm, this means, what works on opensuse 10.1 works on sled/sles, and vice versa. I can tell you, several businesses are still using regular suse on their servers, not sles, and the uptime is every bit as good. So, yeah, apart from those huge differences, opensuse is kind of like fedora... Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
