Ah, OK....3 years old :-) .

But I hardly think that SLED is something which "normal" users would 
install where Deep Freeze would be needed. Novell claims that, in the 
corporate world, they are second to Red Hat in popularity, but Ubuntu 
outshines anyone of these (ie, or their derivatives) combined when it 
comes to the "great unwashed", "let them eat cake", "punters".

BTW, this is not intended to be a "your thingie is smaller than my 
thingie" thingie :-) .
