SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

Easy Maintenance

Deployable as a general-purpose desktop platform or tailored for use in thin- or thick-client configurations, SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop can easily be administered and centrally managed to meet business requirements. In thin-client or fixed-function environments, deployments can be further customized with lockdown desktop features and application containment with Novell AppArmor.

AutoYaST

YaST is a comprehensive installation, configuration and administration suite unique to the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 platform and includes desktop configuration, end-user settings and connections to network resources. AutoYaST is a time-saving tool that automatically performs installation and configuration on similar servers. Since SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop shares a common code base with the entire SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 platform, users have access to tools like AutoYaST for enterprise installation and deployment. AutoYaST allows unattended and automated installation. With AutoYaST, administrators can create a consistent baseline configuration for new installations in large or expanding deployments.

Update Manager

Novell ZENworks® Linux Management complements YaST by enabling IT administrators to centrally control how they deploy and update their entire data centers and the systems inside the firewall, enabling dramatic IT savings. Administrators can easily manage updates to users' machines against a ZENworks server. This industry-leading resource-management solution offers a significant cost advantage over home-grown or competing solutions.
