Access to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server updates requires subscription access to the YaST Online Update Server. Access to Novell's Zenworks Linux Management also requires a subscription. If you want to try out these tools, navigate to the associated Web sites. Trial subscriptions may still be available. And read this book!

Some of the tools described in this book are freely available. They are already included with many Linux distributions. Some have been customized by third parties for popular distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
