Thanks Jon, You are right, it is AU$145 (AU$177 when you add freight) and AU$1 is as hard to earn in Australia as US$1 is to earn in the US. Regards Dave
SInce SuSE 7.3 Pro is only $70 I am curious how you could spend "hundreds" of dollars getting it to work? Did you buy a bunch of hardware? (And if you did, how is that different from having to upgrade hardware to run each new upgrade of WinXX?)
Incorrect - it's $145 in Australia...:-(

Ah - silly boy... You bought it in YOURSELF !!! www.everythinglinux.com.au is your friend !! OK - lets be serious for a minute (which is about all I can handle at the mo !) Don't sell it yet (hey, it's opened, you're not getting my $145 !!! <grin>) By all means, go back to EvilWare, but subscribe to slug.org.au (Sydney Linux Users Group) mailing list - it's a wealth of info and there are LOTSA newbies on there. Come along to an install-fest and see how it's done (on second thought, maybe not - there is almost a distribution Jihad at these things sometimes - Debian vs. SuSE vs. RedHat vs. <insert distro here>) What is your hardware ? What went wrong ? Let's at least have a go at fixing it first - if we can't, I'l buy the 7.3 off you, but only if you try to make it work....:-) The biggest stumbling block for Linux is Windows users thinking "it's going to be just like Windows" - it's not. It's similar on the desktop, but underneath it works PROPERLY, and you just have to get to know it. Jon

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Don't give up... ...would Ghandi be well known if he had given up... ...would we have someone to slander if Bill had gone into hiding after the Pie-Scandal... ...don't do it!!! :) Anyway, on the serious note; don't give up... ...Linux takes a little time to get used to... ...but once you have it opens up a vast amount of power and ease of doing things. I am consitently taking peoples files here at the office (text docs, or csv type data files) which can be up to 50 GB in size (due to the amount of data we work with). I pop it onto my Linux Laptop (Pentium III 450 with 128MB ram) do a 'wc' and pop out the amount of records in the file to verify the extract. I am revered as a linux-god in my office... ...ok maybe not but at least the people go oooooooooooooohhhhh when I do things like this. It's fun, it's powerful... ...it's penguin power!!! :) Like SuSE says.... Have a lot of fun! Q On Wed 07 Nov 01 06:52, Jon Biddell wrote:
