There is a price one has to pay for the long term support.

Well, SLED and SLES 11 will be out somewhere at the end of the summer.

Half a year is a lot of time in the IT business.

Also there is an SP1 available for SUSE 10. Not sure wether that is
free or payable, but if you are going to use SUSE instead of openSUSE,
you better pay anyway. Otherwise there is realy no point in running
it.

It is simply impossible to run it without a contract with Novell as the
update repositories are not open to the public. That said I get SLED 10
and the patches for free :-)
Still I can't use it because of the hardware problems. The enterprise
desktop does get very interesting if one runs not one or a dozen, but
some hundreds desktop systems: buy hardware that is supported, install
it, configure it with cfengine, run 'rug up' as a daily cron job, and
then forget it until the hardware gets obsolete. Much less work than
with openSuSE or any other of the more regularly updated distributions.
