The French police recently announced a switch to Ubuntu. So Novell's not in there alone.

We made a switch from Ubuntu to SLED on our 3000++ Office terminals, SLED with the latest service pack rocks! Matt by the way, you can play all your beta install on openSUSE versions now at 11. Only supported application can be installed without problem on SLED that is why its truely for the enterprise and not for geeky playgrounds.
