“I’ve just tested this out on two PCs, one running Debian Lenny
and the other running MEPIS – both of which boot from a dozen other
Linux and non-Linux discs without any problem – and a Windows XP
PC. SLED 11 only boots from the drive on the PC with XP.“One of these Linux PCs is a single-core AMD64 and the other is
a dual-core AMD64. The XP PC is a dual-core AMD64.“You, gentle reader, can draw your own conclusions. For me it
looks like this is the height of interoperability!”
