I have used it. Doesn't make sense using it at home. It's the same as opensuse. Only, the repositories are different. The repositories have more stable software which doesn't make sense for a home user, who'll want a more cutting edge technology.

True! Its just a wasteage of money for a home user, stick with openSUSE, its better and of course free

SLED can be used for free, as long as you don't need support from them.

thank u all

[hellknight]

SLED can be used for free, as long as you don't need support from them.
But the cost of SLED 10 in India is about Rs. 2500, how will you get it for free? Not by illegaly downloading its torrent i wish?

[mehulved]

No, the cost is for support and updates from official channel, beyond 60 days. I got it and used it for over a month, free of cost and non-pirated. There's no piracy under GPL. Piracy is left behind in EULA's.

yeah anyone can copy and create CD and DVD, but if u want support then u will hav to pay...

[phreak0ut]

Is it possible to get support anytime after 60 days by paying them?

[eddie]

Yes you can buy subscription from them for $50 per year and $125 for three years.

[hellknight]

Hey that's cool, could you please tell me from where I can get my copy of SLED? Can i download it via torrent?

[mehulved]

Yes you can download it via torrents, ftp, http.
You can also buy boxed set if you'd like.
