[Ocfs2-users] Best Linux distribution for OCFS2?

[Angelo McComis]

FYI on SLE11, the high availability add on which includes ocfs2 and
all of the other HA goodies retails for $799 I think. Subject to, of
course, any deals you can do with your rep. Street price on SLE tends
towards 60-70% off list.
