No. Novell is providing Red Hat Enterprise Linux server support for a predetermined period of time so that customers have the flexibility to make the change to SUSE Linux Enterprise over a two-year period. This will give customers the peace of mind that their Linux environment is professionally supported throughout the migration process.

Novell is providing Red Hat Enterprise Linux server support for a predetermined period of time so that customers have the flexibility to make the change to SUSE Linux Enterprise over a three-year period.
