    I’d LOVE to see this shipped with Linux kernel 4.16 or 4.15. There are substantial improvements in the display stack in the pipeline, and using 4.16 (or 4.15 if 4.16 is not available yet) would GREATLY improve hardware enablement on your platform.

      Do not think only about version number for kernel with SLE. Kernels shipped in SLE products contains a lot of backport for hardware enablement from more recent upstream kernel version. You won’t get just a bare 4.12 kernel !

    Is it an invitation only Beta or a Public Beta?
    I found download link (https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=C9WijZq1Z4Q~) for base system but could not find download for HA for example.

      Please have a look at the installation guide for SLES (linked on the Beta page), you will see how to access HA Module. It is no longer in a separate iso image. And of course, HA is part of the Public Beta program for SLE15 !
