1.Is openSUSE appropriate as a server for a small company with 1 to 25
users?
The marketing people of Microsoft would say no. The marketing people of
Novell would say yes. To me it all depends on what you think is
"appropriate".
2.Any example of openSUSE being use as production server?
Half of Germany is running (figure of speeech) But if you want a real
world example, try www.openSUSE.org
3.If choose to buy instead of download openSUSE I will receive 1-year
of maintenance. Anybody could tell me what is included in that
?maintenance) (http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/howtobuy.html)
I get a deja-vu feeling here.
4.Is SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop a better server than openSUSE?
Are blondes sexier then redheads? I am doing an ivestigation and try
them all out first. (and to make the test valid, I use the brunettes as
a sort of denominator. Sorry bald women, you can't ave me(1))
I know that it is suppose to be use on desktops but everybody knows
that there is no real ?desktop version?on linux. Or I am wrong?
You are wrong. I am running a desktop version of Linux for about 10
years, If it were not available I would not be able to do that. The only
difference between a server and a desktop is ther programs you run on
them.
As always, the answer to these sort of questions can only be answerd by
two people. The first is the marketing department. Listen to them if you
want or need to hear a lot of yes. The second is yourself. If your
question is seriously only "will this work?" then you have serious
problems and should re-define your question.
So my advice to you is (as much of a *SUSE fanboy I am) os the
following:
1) Start wondering what you really want and write that down. Give points
to the differnt things. Do the first step in a brainstorming session
where the outcome will be something like:
* Cheap
* Fast
* Good
* A pony
Select any two (I would go for a fast pony)
When you have determines IN WRITING (I mean that. Write it down and
stick to it) you can download openSUSE, SLES and SLED and determone for
yourself if this is something you need to do.
Now can you send me my 10.000EUR. That is about the amount that a
contractor would ask you to give the same information(2)
(1) unless you ask me or are just willing. I am not picky.
(2) Contractors, prostitues of the mind.
