Hi,

It is a newbie question. Is OpenSuSE is comparable to SLES9 in terms
of
Stability, like CentOS to RHEL? or it is a desktop Linux distribution?
Well, you're talking apple and oranges.

openSUSE is to SLES10 as Fedora Core is to RHEL.

CentOS is a clone of RHEL and would (supposedly) have the same
stability, just without the support or cost.

In any case, you should find the more (b)leading edge products in
openSUSE and/or Fedora Core while you find the stable tested products
in SLES/RHEL.

Does that make sense?

While we're on this topic, it used to be that SLES had a few more
server functions and a more complete set of Yast modules than the
enthusiast's release (9.2 for instance).

Is that still true? ie. Is drbd fully functional in OpenSUSE? etc.

I'm going to have a similar question when 10.3 comes out. Can someone explain
what all the versions do, their advantages, etc? I would like to have a manual,
and I don't mind paying for the distro--AAMOF, I do not have a working CD burner
at the moment, so I would have to buy something anyway. (I used to think I was
computer-savvy, but now I think I'm just a dunce!) And, no, I don't spend all
my time in this Win OS, but I had to print something....
