Probably trying to sell it as a desktop solution.

Ahhh, thanx for correcting my ignorance in this mater. I didn't know
they were shipping the "consumer" editions in the newer kits.
If anyone can find out what the licensing is on the Professional
editions, that would be great. You'd figure they'd only be licensed for
either 1 system, or maybe 1 user (up to X systems) ala MSDN-style.
The main issue is that I don't think Novell-SuSE owns all the "value
added" software on the SuSE Linux Professional discs.
As far as the SLSS/SLES/Nterprise/etc..., you can be sure that they are
"evaluation" licenses.
