I went the easy way RH 5.1 > SuSE 6.0 (never looked back to RH after that)

(Anyone remember Yggdrasil Linux? That was my first distro...)

Remember it? I ran across it while looking for some old docs. I was amazed to find it all together and am planning to check the floppys and CDs to see if they are still good. Gotta go before I get all misty eyed. :-) -- Later, Tim mailto:tduggan@dekaresearch.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

What the hell are all of you people smoking? Yes, RedHat allows you to download their distro for free... SO DOES EVERY OTHER DISTRO, INCLUDING SUSE. No, they don't have the 7.0 release on the ftp site yet... they do tend to lag on that, but I'm sure that it will appear there soon enough. Granted, it may not be the pro version... but then again, you won't find RedHat's equivalent (Deluxe or whatever thay call it) on their ftp site either. Quit whining and grow up already... or go spend $150 US on Windows ME and join the millions of other sheep that wallow in the mire of Microsoft (then you'll really have something to whine about.)
