Don't | you think a long time support release of opensuse will bring (more) | people (back) to this great distribution?! I would tend to agree. IMO there should be an additional LTS release of Opensuse. I think it would be for both the users and the devs an advantage and presumably not much of competition to SLES/SLED. Before all I do like the bleeding edge touch of Opensuse. I always update my distro when the third party repositories are available for the new release. (Yes I know! Shame on me I don't work with you on factory releases.) That's cool for a workstation, but what about server? Some of us maybe even not quite few do need neither SLES for a home-server/small-cap-server nor would even think of putting a bleeding edge distro on such way destined machine. For my part I'm at the moment thinking of setting up a home-server with a http and ftp deamon on it in order to suit my very little business. Thus what distro do I shall choose? 10.2 or maybe even 10.3? Definitely not. Sorry I won't. I tend to use either Centos or even Debian, but I'd really love having the opportunity to choose a LTS-Opensuse... If providing a LTS-release then, it should be a stable one, with security patches and updated with current stable kernels. I would even pay for it, a reasonable amount of cash of course. I'd have no need for phone or email support, but all patches, kernels and the this mailing list. When (or if) my company gets bigger then believe me I will buy SLES, coz then I'm convinced that I won't have much spare time but even more cash to spare though. And a 24/7 supported SLES would even decrease my administration costs and thus satisfy my very ugly opportunistic nature... ... and a 'centos-like' for SLES might come... - -- All the best, Peter J.
