Upgrade question

He means OpenSuSE, and I concur.  Novell screwed up SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server 10 so badly with service pack 1 that it won't boot after patching
without modifying the boot loader config.  That config was written
incorrectly in different ways on two servers that were identically
configured.  I am not pleased with Novell right now, esp. when they would
have charged $650 for direct help for one instance on a patch they broke
for an overpriced commercial version.  Without a support contract there is
no reason to buy it, and every reason to go OpenSuSE.

They also have a horrid distribution server system with no mirrors, and
keep bloating the management software.  Not impressed with it.
