[wplug] SuSE Confusion

[Brad Chamberlin]

Novell (SuSE) has made this very confusing for many and recently changed their naming conventions (again) just a week or so ago.

SuSE is now officially OpenSuSE I believe so the difference between the two you mention are probably very little if any.  The non-OSS versions I assume come with things like Real Player, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Nvidia/ATI drivers...

OpenSuSE is to Novell's SuSE Enterprise Linux (Desktop/Server)

as

Fedora is to Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (Desktop/Server)

Subject: [wplug] SuSE Confusion

Hi all,

I did some searching on the net but could not find anything helpful.

I'm a SuSE user since version 6 and currently using 9.1 on my main system, 9.2 
on a server and 9.3 on my laptop.

I wanted to look into the latest version but ran into some confusion.
I have a choice between SuSE 10.1 and OpenSuSE 10.1.

I figured the difference was something like Red Hat and Fedora but it seems a 
bit more complicated.

Both versions are free for download.

I was looking for a chart or website that compares what's in one version and 
not in the other.

I looked at downloading a DVD .iso of OpenSuSE but there are non-OSS and OSS 
versions. 

For my home systems I like to be on the bleeding edge so can anyone recommend 
a version to me?


Thanks for any feedback on this,

Bob
