SuSE Linux

[Coleman Kane]

Hi,

I made a comment yesterday about SuSE Linux...

      * SLED stands for "SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop" and is the
        desktop-linux distribution that they provide. ("Sled")
      * SLES stands for "SuSE Linux Enterprise Server" and is the
        server-linux distribution that they provide. ("Sles")

Apologies to anyone that I confused.... they've gone through a number of
renaming cycles since being SuSE GmbH (now just a division of Novell,
Inc.).

For those interested, this is also one of the few Server Distros that
I've found to use OpenLDAP by default as the "passwd database", rather
than the flat files in /etc/.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, RHEL (sometimes pronounced "Our-Hell" by many
a disillusioned sysadmin), is analogous to SLES, while Fedora is more
analogous to SLED. I mistakenly compared SLED to RHEL in the discussion.
