SLES was first to the market and appears to have a better grip on the z marketplace. From what I've heard the RH pricing model is by how many virtual machines you run, where the Novell pricing model is strictly by how many CPUs you have. RH lost some traction with their more stringent non-OCO requirement (which may have helped more than not, since now the OSA Express and 3590 drivers are OSS).
Others will certainly chime in with their reasons. Evans, Kevin R wrote:
Without wishing to stir up a firestorm here, we are working on a proof of concept project here with RHEL on z series hardware. I have noticed that most of the questions here seem to be about SLES...so I was wondering why? Is this because: RHEL is more stable (therefore less questions)? SLES is used by more people (therefore more questions)? Something else? We are not set on a distribution yet although will be a choice between SLES and RHEL. Inquiring minds want to know <g>.
