Trying out OpenSUSE - What is Enterprise like?

[ExpertBeginner]

After a little research I'm contemplating on trying out OpenSuSE. I've used the Live CD for a few hours and like the way it looks and works.

I found this quote whilst searching for the differences between OpenSuSE and SuSE Enterprise:

After using SLED 10 for a few weeks, I am starting to wonder why I have an XP partition. I didn't pay the $50 yet, but I'm thinking about it. Once you register they have the install sources and everything. I was able to add my video card drivers and Xgl now works. It is just a sweet OS, try it if you didn't yet!

Firstly, what are the major differences between the Open and Enterprise versions (apart from cost!), and also can someone explain to me what the above poster means by:

'Once you register they have the install sources and everything.'

Many thanks

Other then supporting the project and getting some installation support from Novell there is no real difference. The "install sources" repositories are available for free from Open Suse. If you are a buisness you may require additional support which of course you must pay for. But if you are an individual there is no great need. I believe that the server product from Novell may be setup a bit different and may contain some additional services not supplied out of the box for the desktop or open desktop. But but there is no reason with a bit of knowledge you can not convert the open product to a server.

I have no idea what the original post means by

'Once you register they have the install sources and everything.'

You get that with the open product also.
