SuSE 9.2 is the latest and greatest. It comes with Games, Web Server, Databases, etc... However NOvell markets this to the computer enthusiest not the corporate customer. Meaning they'll rev it every 6 months and its not supported OS.
If you want support buy NLD. NLD has different color scheme and all the server stuff stripped out. They also add iFolder, Zenworks clients into this OS for the enterprise. This is commerically supported every 5 years and only revved every 1 1/2 years or so.

Further I uderstand that the Novell distro is a subset of the full 9.2 professional papckage. I have run the Novell version for a few day on a machine...it is pretty slick, and in the right type of environment could possibly replace some windows machines on it's own merits. Not sure if that helps any, hopefully it will. By the way a fully installable demo version of the Novell package is available for download. If you need the url let me know. Jim
