I have to say I'm very impressed that SuSE can backport so many of those new features that Linux dev is pumping out into the service stream without requiring us to get to new versions, releases. We have to go through so many hours of certifications and checkouts and other vendor concurrence to get new releases in that we're just now getting to SLES 10 on the eve of 11, +2 years past GA. But getting to SLES9 SP4 has not been traumatic at all - with zero impact to users. And the very long support life will certainly help us - the large enterprise customers who have hundreds to upgrade..

Having seen what goes on from the inside for the last 18 months, I can confidently say that you're incorrect about that. After all, it was SUSE that invented the concept of an enterprise Linux distribution. Novell/SUSE isn't so crazy as to commit to supporting things for seven years, and then not be extremely concerned about product stability.
