Re: What do you think about an openSLES distro?

I think it would very good for Novell.

I mean, most of RHEL installations i've seen in production were first CentOS, 
most new admins, just graduated admins and undergraduates "admins", have in 
their minds, that CentOS is a rock solid distro, which they can play and 
learn, so they'll be prepared to work in a production environment with no 
hassle at all because they ever used it.

Kids at any university or new admins entering to linux, first ask, what to 
learn ?, that can lead them to little effort and updates (security patches, 
bugs, etc) while been low cost or even better free?, hard to say that our 
beloved SuSE doesn't have an equality to that situation.

So that's why i think Novell could get in there, and earn minds and hearts 
with all this rookies, making them taste all we like from SuSE, and 
guarantying them that their time invested in learning this "SuSEOS" or else 
name will be the same as SLES when they do solid work.

My few cents.

Best regards
