Hey Aaron,

Thanks for the reply - it was very informative.  I still prefer SuSE 10 
for desktops as I find it to be more effective, even in larger deployments.

Anyhow, I'm wondering about SLES and RHEL.  What can you say about those 
in terms of price?  I know SLES is a Novell thing..

Cheers,
Mike
