YES Certified - Eligible Operating Systems

Products can be YES Certified with the versions of Novell operating systems detailed below.

Note that YES Certified compatibility tests are only available for current versions of released products, including service pack levels, which receive full support from Novell. Products can not be YES Certified with any release of openSUSE.

Software Products: Kernel-level Applications and Modules

Software applications that contain kernel modules and execute code in an operating system's kernel space can be YES Certified with the following:

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP4

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP2
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1
• Novell Linux Desktop 9 SP4

• Novell Linux Point of Service SSP3

Open Enterprise Server

• Open Enterprise Server 2/SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1
• Open Enterprise Server 2/NetWare 6.5 SP7

Software Products: User-space Applications

Software applications that do not execute code in an operating system's kernel space are not eligible to be YES Certified; however, they can earn the status of Novell Ready.

Hardware Products

Systems (servers, workstations, laptops), Components (LAN, storage, and video cards), and Peripherals (printers, backup devices) can be YES Certified with the following:

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

Recertification Requirements

Due to changes in operating system kernels and drivers in new service packs, and to ensure the highest level of compatibility for customers, Novell requires recertification for all hardware running new service packs. This requirement may be waived for later service packs with minimal incremental changes (i.e.: SP3 and beyond.)
