I don't know how to say this without throwing shade so here goes anyway. Anyone who has worked with both RHEL and SLES systems knows why. My feelings from working with both products in large scale heterogeneous environments is that SLES is many factors less reliable than RHEL. I don't know exactly how and why because SuSE has many many talented people on payroll and do good work in many areas it's just that when it's time to put SLES together it just isn't very reliable. I'm sorry for the harsh words I just don't know how to put it in any other way. /Markus _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
