This chapter is addressed mainly to corporate system

their site. Rolling out SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop to an entire site should involve
careful planning and consideration of the following questions:
- For which purpose will the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop workstations be used?
-
Determine the purpose for which SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop should be used

requirements are used. Consider testing your setup on a single
machine before rolling it out to the entire site.
- How many workstations should be installed?
-
Determine the scope of your deployment of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.
