“On the strength of its broad platform support, approachable configuration tools, estimable set of vendor certifications and solid support options, Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server has earned a reputation as a safe choice for Linux at enterprise sites. SLES 10, which Novell began shipping this summer, continues in this vein. It also adds to the mix Xen virtualization capabilities, which, while clearly still on the road to maturity, fit in well with the distribution and add a new deployment and management arrow to the SLES administrator’s quiver.”
*tumbleweed*
but, really – the summary is like a 1/4 of the article.
We have couple of SLES 10 at our Lab and I would say this is the best integrated Linux Distribution I have seen.
It is truly enterprise class. Things I liked are ::
1) excellent hardware detection (all network cards detected automatically),
2) periodic upgrades,
3) Virtualization,
4) Oracle Integration,
5) AppArmor
6) Easy multi-processor administration
and above all
7) A single tool for all adminstration – YAST and AutoYAST.
Though for desktop I still have Ubuntu.
