SUSE Linux Enterprise offers several ways of integrating a laptop into existing operating
environments:
SCPM
SCPM (system configuration profile management) allows storage of arbitrary
configuration states of a system into a kind of "snapshot" called a profile. Profiles
can be created for different situations. They are useful when a system is operated
in changing environments (home network, office network). It is always possible
to switch between profiles. Find information about SCPM in
Configuration Profile Management
Profile Chooser in KDE to switch between profiles. The application requires the
root password before switching.
NetworkManager
NetworkManager is especially tailored for mobile networking on laptops. It provides
a means to easily and automatically switch between network environments or dif-
ferent types of networks, such as wireless LAN and ethernet. NetworkManager
supports WEP and WPA-PSK encryption in wireless LANs. It also supports dial-
up connections (with smpppd). Both desktop environments (GNOME and KDE)
include a front-end to NetworkManager. For more information about the desktop
applets, see Chapter 13, Managing Network Connections (↑KDE User Guide) and
GNOME User Guide.
