It's usually best, if you are wanting it quickly, to order direct from the SuSE store! Amazon.com and Linux Central usually pick it up pretty quickly after the initial release date, but there is still a lag in time. The retail outlets, in my experience, start getting it from 2 weeks to a month after the release. Those places have such inventory and ordering procedures, things just don't get done quickly.
Yeah, I hear you. I didn't want it *early*. In fact, I'm still relatively on the fence. It's just that I got a couple gift certificates from Amazon.com and Amazon had it for $10 off so I figured "what the heck" I'll order it. Except that Amazon can't deliver until at least Monday. So I might as well wait around and see if anyone gets it over the weekend. If not I might just re-order it or just order from SuSE. Who knows. What a drag, though. I wanted to try it and I can't buy it really except from SuSE.
Plus, you have to remember the free gifts SuSE supplies! Last time a fuzzy chameleon and this time a fuzzy t-shirt! Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, huh? :o)
Except I'm not a 1X guy (what they have on their site as the gift). Preston
