Evening all,
We seem to have garnered a lot of support from Novell Employees. Having said that does anyone know how much does SLES cost and how is the applications support it offers any better/worse than the application list from RHEL.
Current trends suggest that Novell is strongly committed to promoting SuSE and Linux based services in the enterprise.
SLES 9 is the first linux kernel 2.6.x bases enterprise solution. pricing no clue but has some really cool solutions for the developers. yast is absolutely killer. i remember a windows admin saying " god wish windows also had this "
SuSE always has had this tight integration which RH lacked. For commercial Enterprise applications it surely would be great to know if SLES really has got the stuff to pluck the pie from RH india and int.
YaST has tightly integrated most of the admin stuff ... its been heard that IBM is gonna have a YaST module for DB2 install and admin.
The drama of watching the minions at RH pull up their socks before they loose a battle on the india front would surely be an entertaining one.
the best part is gonna be the fact that since big cos will spend good amount of effort on marketing / positioning / support and development FLOSS will scale new heights
we are sure RH is not gonna keep quiet :)
My few cents Harsh
Gnu/Linux surely needs some piece of *aktion* too...:D.
