"SLED 11 leverages all the updates found in openSUSE 11.1 to bring a fully up-to-date distribution to the enterprise. In addition, SLED 11 includes a number of Novell developed features, such as the AppArmor application security tool, specifically targeted at enterprise users. It also includes proprietary applications like Adobe Acrobat Reader, not typically included with an open source distribution.
"Single-click install is another new-to-SLED 11 feature that makes installing application programs a breeze. We tested this out with the just-released MonoDevelop 2.0. There are actually three options on the download page, and you'll need to pick the openSUSE 11.1 button for SLED 11. Version 2.4 of the core Mono components were also released this week. The download page has instructions for using the zypper command line tool to add the mono repository and perform the upgrade with three instructions.
"The default file system has changed from ReiserFS to ext3 with SLED11. There are some basic differences between the two, including maximum individual file size. For ext3 that number is 2 TB and shouldn't be an issue for the typical desktop user. ReiserFS supports file sizes up to 1024 TB or 1 EB (Exabyte) and would make sense in a server-based environment."
