so your whole basis is one clip line?<br><br>this is not the place for this, and your comments are out of line for DRBD discussions.<br><br>It is a completely valid platform, and a lot of us depend on it for real-world production use in the enterprise.<br>
Even companies over $200 million in revenue and into the billions use it for this purpose.<br><br>That's not even considering the embedded devices industry, which would not use SLES, but which are very much high demand environments.<br>
<br>There are even router platforms based on it. but that's not the point.<br><br>LAMP is a way of life, it is not for us to dictate what users do with their platforms, it is for them to dictate to us their needs.<br>

Agreed that many people use openSUSE on production servers, but it is<br>not the intended audience and it never was. From the project website:<br> <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Project_Overview" target="_blank">http://en.opensuse.org/Project_Overview</a><br>
