Editor's Notes
Open Enterprise Server is a bundle of high-value networking, storage and print services that are optimized to run on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. You can see that we still are shipping a NetWare bare-metal install option, but not all of the most valuable services are available on that kernel. Domain Services for Windows, Dynamic Storage Technology, Virtualization, and the easy upgrade tools can only be used when deploying on SUSE Linux Enterprise. However all the critical tools you are familiar with, and have relied on for years with NetWare, are now available for you to use on Linux. And with the same skill sets you already have in your environment.
