No surprise here. > > We (Novell/SUSE) recommend customers to start adopting SLES10 SP1 to make it even better platform :-) This is not always possible and not because we don't want to. It is because Novell won't release the software. Let me explain: We use IBM IRES where possible, NLPOS where not and sometimes, when the customer specifies the OS, Windows. I really wonder when will NLPOS for SLES10 will be out so that IBM can build their next version IRES, no one knows. I reckon the real answer is: never. Looking at Novell's 2007 August support CD/DVD breakdown, there is no mention of NLPOS modifications whereas DVD9A is for SLED10SP1. Since NLPOS is based directly on SLED, I really wonder what is holding it up. Obviously, if some of your servers need to be SLES9 (you need it for IRES/NLPOS), there is no reason why you should be installing SLES10 or even 11 on anything. -- Hakan (m1fcj) -- To unsubscribe, email: [email protected] For additional commands, email: [email protected] Please see http://www.suse.com/oracle/ before posting
