    From what I read (thought they went under) is it's significantly cheaper than Redhat.

    CentOS is cheaper still.

    The question is if anything is certified for SuSE anymore or is it Solaris, Windows Server, or Redhat?

    I think it's one of the supported nixy platforms for SAP, along with RHEL and the Oracle one that's basically RHEL.

  9. The numbers & statistics may say that it's theoretically gone down, but Newt says otherwise!

    Well that's the difference, you see - Windows doesn't have systemd. Just give it a year or so and systemd will have Windows.
