RH is priced by virtual machines now???? Maybe that's where the Netbackup vendor got the idea. Last time I had checked RH was only twice as much as SuSE for the license. But as to the real reason we run SuSE- RedHat at least used to lag behind a year or 2 is providing new features that we needed such as SAN and hipersockets. Has RedHat finally caught up in functionality?

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.
