You no longer have to be an uber-geek to run a Linux server. With the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Novell has at last put out a product that's as easy to install, administer and use as a Windows server--in some cases, even easier. And if you're looking for more reasons to make the move, consider the OS' wide range of free development tools, applications for everything from mail to office software, a wide choice of distributions and source code that's freely available. Most important, the OS provides a solid foundation for a vast array of enterprise-level systems--app servers, database servers and file servers, to name a few.
Linux has come in a neat package for years, but only Red Hat and Novell provide enterprise-level support. With this distribution, Novell emphasized SUSE's superior security, thanks to its AppArmor application-level security service, virtualization with Xen 3.0 and improved software and system management, using the YaST management tool.
YaST Eases Setup
If you can install Windows, you can install SLES 10. Linux first-timers will find only a few unfamiliar tasks, such as configuring swap space and having to choose between file systems such as ReiserFS and ext3. In most cases, using the default values is enough. But if you want to change the defaults--say, to tweak performance based on the types and sizes of files a machine serves--help is available during installation. Novell also made sure SLES 10 integrates well with Windows; the server can be set up to authenticate against Microsoft Active Directory (and OpenLDAP and eDirectory), and it supports Samba file shares.

I screwed up the linkage,....see link at post #2,
how was your sleep Ernie? :) ahh.. still waiting for MEPIS 6 Final.. :P
Wow, I may just have to redo my server at home with this. Very cool.
I decided to download the RC3 and look at it....
Cool. :)
add those repos to your /etc/apt/sources.list by opening file(super user mode) you can open sources.list with a text editor... those repos will allow you to install libdvdcss, Win32 codecs and such... via synaptic update manager.
I haven't yet configured it for XGL 3D yet, but so far so good.

Ran XGL for a few days, after I showed my kids some of the eye candy took it back off. Suse 10.1 Nvidia graphics made it real easy to get running.
