It's exactly my impression. Novell try to enforce everyone abandon SLES9. DELL support abandoned,. Oracle 10 abandoned... what's next - customers?

problem is that when I estimnate systems as an oracle platforms, my preferences are for example:

1 - SLES9 SP3
2 - OracleLinux 4
3 - Oracle LInux 5 or RHEL5
4 - SLES10 SP1

so guess what we select if we wil be forced to abandon SLES9?

For now, etst results with SLES10 (SP1) was negative - few critical errors found and too many problems of al kinds. OpenSuSe10.2 is great as a desktop, but SLES10 SP1 as a server for Oracle... never, thanks!

Arun,

actually Novell had control on this - we informed Novell about 11g plan, when it was time -
Novell was ok supporting only SLES10 - the decision has been made and at this point we cannot change the plan.

Strange, but Novell/SUSE has no control here. We love to see Oracle 11g supporting SLES9.

What's about SLES9 support on new servers and Oracle11?

There is not any chance to have Oracle 9 support on SLES10 (because of
thread library), so SLES10 is not an option until many users runs Oracle 9.

    OK, but what about Oracle Application Server? There's still no
certification for SLES10!

Kind regards,
