novell linux desktop and SuSE

[Master of Reality]

whats the difference between NLD and SuSE.... why does novell have both?

[dishawjp]

NLD is Novell's enterprise desktop. It's not cutting edge and has fewer apps included. It's intended to be more stable and easier to support. It's designed for desktop use in a work environment.

SUSE is more like Fedora, especially now with the OpenSUSE project going. More leading edge software, possible less stable.

HTH,
