Have I got this right then...?
Novell/Suse are offering 30days of free support and the distro completely free?
Novell/Suse is starting to look very interesting. They just recently managed to talk HP/Compaq into pre-installing their distro on laptops. Pre-installation is Linux' biggest problem. There isn't enough of it. If Linux came pre-installed it could be almost as easy as Windows.

This looks interesting:
* Virtual Hardware and Transport Management. SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 now supports User-Mode Linux, making it easy for IT administrators to test disparate Linux configurations and use virtualization to deploy different deployments on the same hardware.
Has anyone played with it or got the CDs? It's not that small ("just download these 6 files...")
