Indeed 'is' there any difference between the OSS version of SuSE 10 on DVD and Eval version on DVD?
The commercial, boxed DVD has packages not on the eval DVD.
I ask this question because 'Linux Magazine' have announced that they will be shipping the full version of SuSE 10 on DVD, not the OSS version, with their next copy of the magazine. If this is the case it is a big disincentive to buying the boxed version. After all, we no longer get the superb manuals - down to one install manual now - and if you are an experienced SuSE/GNU Linux user then you 'probably' will not need to contact the support line.
If they're doing that, then presumably it's under some sort of agreement with Novell, perhaps including a fee. But that's just a hunch, of course.
I recieve that fabulous magazine here in the US. It costs $100/year, which is an easy tax write-off. When they shipped 9.3 earlier this summer it was the full DVD version. I recently looked at the Mandriva 2006 and it compared to the Power Pack version. Hence I suspect they'll ship the full DVD version.
Oh, I believe the magazine is due out on December 2nd in the UK.
I'm sure the plane tickets from California will more than make up for the savings on the DVD from the boxed set... What language do they speak in England?
That depends on if you're in Edinburgh or Cardiff. ;) -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
