I called my local stores back around Oct 1, and they all said they were not slated to get it in until Oct 23 or 27 (I forget which, I think it was the 23rd though). Maybe that'll help with that long hold time on the phone ;)

Glad I went ahead and went to CompUSA. Both CompUSA and Fry's have it where I live. So Best Buy lost my business this time. Preston

I found mine at Borders Book Store of all places. They had the both editions and I grabbed the last Professional Box Set they had :) -Scott

That is an odd place to find it. Borders is really hit or miss. Like just this week my local Borders got SuSE 8.0. Just in time. :-) The funny thing is, whenever I call them to see if they have a distro their line is always "We don't cary software". Yeah, except for the 3 Linux distros and copy of StarOffice. OTHER than that.... Preston

The message sent out on suse-announce Friday mentioned they had shipped it to all the US and Canadian stores. So I guess that means next week on the shelves. Nick

I originally saw the 8.0 box at BestBuy....ended up purchasing at CompUSA. One of my colleagues bought it at BB. Salman
