Just ordered mine about an hour ago. http://www.bestbuy.com has it for $69.99 and with shipping (mine is an APO address), the total was $75.49. For awhile, I sat at that site, with my cursor on the "process order" button. I was wondering if I actually needed version 7.1 since I'm quite happy with the 6.4 that I've been using. Then I thought, "kernel 2.4 is included, along with increased USB support, KDE 2, and other stuff." I'd have to download the things I needed if I didn't order a more up-to-date distro, and I'd have to do it on metered internet access. Someone also told me that I should just wait for the iso to appear on Suse's site, but again, I'm tight with my 90 hours a month. So, I came to the conclusion that the $75 would be well spent, though I think when the wife sees the Best Buy card statement, she'll have something not-so-nice to say..... :o) The web site said it wasn't in stock but on order. If in stock, it should ship within 2 to 3 days. On-rder status usually means 5-7 days to ship. That means I should have my 7.1 in 2 weeks....man, I hate living abroad. :o( -- Ron Sinclair aka NipponDSM http://members.tripod.com/~WIGGLIT/ On Fri, 23 Feb 2001, Ron Sinclair wrote:
