SUSE Linux Enterprise is SUSE's commercial edition, which SUSE releases 
much less frequently, enabling it to offer support more effectively for 
enterprise and production deployments. It is certified for a wide 
variety of enterprise applications and offers a number of special 
enterprise features including, High Availability and Point of Sale 
extensions. SUSE historically uses a heavily-tested subset of packages 
from openSUSE Linux as the basis for SUSE Linux Enterprise.

I gained from reading various comments was that the desktop WAS produced 
to get a better, faster, performance.

But, just as a matter of interest, why WAS the desktop created as a 
separate kernel and maintained for the past (?)6 years?
