What's the different between them actually?

And my job role is going to be changed to manage SuSE linux server of some companies in Euro, so which version I should install for study purpose?

I am so panic now, I haven't touched Linux for a long long time, and I have no different compare to a newbie, can I up to this job role?

I use Professional for servers but if you are going to support your company's servers they are likely to be Enterprise. There are not too many differences between the two. Professional has more up-to-date features as Enterprise is only updated less frequently, however, for basic server functionality they will be very similar. Enterprise has more YaST tools for managing servers, but the core software is there in Professional so you can still install it and configure it yourself. The YaST tools although very good will only take you so far, you will probably end up editing conf files.

I'd suggest getting Professional in order to get yourself up to steam with linux again and once you've played around for a while get the 30 day Enterprise evaluation so that you can see the differences.

unless one of the companies is going to pay for an enterprise version for you, them you have something to look at when you are stuck and want to figure out the issue at home!

Thank you guys~

ICO,

Just a bit to consider.

Support life cycles..... The enterprise versions have a support life cycle of 5 years whereas the professional versions are only about 2 years. Most businesses would opt for the enterprise version for servers due to this even tho there is a higher cost of purchase.


The eval versions of SLES and OES are only limited to 30 days of online upgrades and email support, other than that they are 100% full versions with full functionality (even after the 30 days)
