Hey. I thought of an idea for a product. Please think about it. I think you should sell: SUSE on a dongle. Take the 2gb dongle, plug it into any computers usb 2.0 port, reboot, and instant linux! It would be fast, functional, easy. I would put it on my key chain. I could save data onto the dongle, or work on the computer I plug it into... Best buy could sell them for a hundred bucks. ....

Thanks!
I would note that, it would be nice if it were a company with enough
market reputation to get it inside one of the big tech stores. Maybe
even with a free give-away or a rebate...

I remember the days when I could walk into CompUSA and find SuSE personal and SuSE pro on the shelves. I bought the pro version there twice. In fact, once upon a time you could buy Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE there.

I've found that SUSE is becoming even more available than ever before - at least where I live. I was in the local MediaMarkt, and was very surprised to see SUSE 10.1 on the shelves... the ONLY boxed Linux in the store. I've also seen SUSE 10.1 in a couple of the local bookstores... plus the computer shops in the country that have online stores seem to be picking up on SUSE and lots of them now have SUSE 10.1 in their catalog.

Mandrake did it with a 512mb about four years ago. CWSIV -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
