Centos, RHEL, ______, SLES

[Edward Ned Harvey]

AFAIK, there is no such thing as a SLES clone.  And my google-fu only
produces blogs of people complaining about it a few years ago.  Anyone know
anything to the contrary?

 

I want to run a small application, which only runs on SLES or opensuse...  I
want to run it inside of vmware.  Unfortunately, opensuse is not a supported
guest OS for vmware (it might work, I haven't tried yet)...  So I don't see
any alternative but to pay for SLES.
