First a little background info. We've been running a mixed Netware and Windows Server Network and it's time for a long overdue upgrade of the hardware and some software. &nbsp;Because of some software, we ave no choice but to run at least a couple of Windows Servers, but I'd like to keep that to a minimum if it's feasible, so here is the first of what I'm sure are going to be many questions.<br />

What are the differences between SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.2 (or 11) and Novell Open Enterprise Server 2?<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
