What has SUSE Linux been up to lately

Our May guest is Rod Nash, a Linux Specialist from SUSE.

What has SUSE Linux been up to lately

SUSE has been hard at work over the years build up the core/base SLES product and the life cycle management that goes around that. We have recently extended that to include the Cloud. This session will have a look SLES SP2 and preview the plans for SP3. And we will also take a quick look at SUSE Manager and SUSE Cloud.
