Original question by Johannes Nohl was about the server. Novell will never have customers like Johannes unless there is cheaper alternative to SLES. They can't afford full fledged product and they are tired to go trough update cycle every 2 years. Ideal opportunity to see what can be dropped from SLES, and make some money. Focus on sales killed many good products, pushing customers to competition. Thinking on shallow pockets that are majority of customers, and looking how to help them to get most for their money was never bad idea. I can remember that MS DOS was some 20% cheaper than IBM DOS, and that was good enough to buy MS product. When IBM later dropped DOS my decision to use MS DOS looked even better. MS lost me when they started to focus on sales. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
