I am surprised to hear that the CGL for SUSE Linux Enterprise
"seems to be dead" - the opposite is the case:-) with SUSE Linux
Enterprise 11 and the upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service
Pack 1 family of products (Server, High Availability Extension,
..) we are working towards a broad implementation and improved
compliance with the Carrier Grade Linux specification.

A first set of information (not final, based on SUSE Linux
Enterprise 11 GA, currently under review) is available at:
	http://www.novell.com/products/server/cgl/

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is a reliable, interoperable and
manageable foundation for physical and virtual mission critical
workloads. It is open source and comes with commerical support
up to 24x7, see: http://support.novell.com/linux/sle_support.html

Feel free to come back to me via private mail, if you have
questions.

so long -
	MgE
