[GLLUG] SuSE+Novell

[Melson, Paul]

Not if you install 9.1-pro, but if you install one of the "enterprise"
releases.  Novell & SuSE have something similar to RHN where updated
RPMs are only available from the manufacturer.  If you don't have a
product key installed into YaST, then online updates won't work.  When
you buy the licensed version, this is really what you get (beyond the
right to use the software in some commercial settings).

"Also, If
you get the Novell enterprise servers through the beta or NFR programs,
be aware that you cannot get updates for the SuSE server stuff without
paying money, even if you get an NFR copy of the install media.  It's a
pain. (email me off line if you need details)

-From a previous email..

Whats this about getting updates?
