Novell / SuSE SLES 9 Linux

Organisations using Microsoft's ASP.Net application infrastructure can port their applications to SLES 9 via the new SuSE Linux software developers kit. Novell's acquisition of Ximian brings a C# compiler to SLES 9 and compatibility with ASP.Net Web applications. SLES 9 performs numerous dependency checks at application installation time via a revamped administrative interface, still called YaST (Yet Another SetUp Tool). Adding server applications and updates is simplified and safer. SLES 9 contains many server service-oriented applications, such as DHCP, PostFix Mail and DNS, as have prior editions.
