I have a contact who is considering an enterprise Linux solution, but I don't think he really needs one. Before I give him my "formal" opinion, I thought I'd ask what the difference is between a regular desktop version and the enterprise version of Linux. (say Suse Pro vs Suse Enterprise)
As I understand things (and freely admit I could be wrong), there is no difference other than the bundled support contract with the Enterprise edition. Is this correct? Or are there other differences in terms of available packages or the "quality" of the packages?
Thanks for any input.

Big diff between Pro and Enterprise Suse is $$$ and the tools to maintain the boxes. SuSE Pro is your everyday distribution, where the ent. comes with a bunch of admin tools for security maintanance clustering etc etc
Personally I don't like those tools, if I need a cluster I throw SuSE Pro on 2 boxes and OpenMosix. The command line is my admin tool (okay I admit I do use YAST also... a lot)
The kernel and the apps are the same on Pro & Ent. no gain there.
I can get you an SuSE Ent. eval if you (really) want one. (contact me off-list for this)
