It's interesting - now they (DELL) don't offer SLES9, but SLES10 only
(it can distract many users from SuSe, because SLES10 is not
mature enough yet and, what is more important, is not well supported by
software vendors and
is not compatible with numerous software - Oracle, Veritas, CA, and so on).
