Whoa! I figured it would be a bit more expensive this time around... But not double the cost (even at Chumbo no less...). I doesn't seem to me you're getting that much more (i.e. more than in 6.4) for the extra cost.

I was more than willing to spring $29.99 for each new incremental version and heve been since 5.3 I will not be able to continue this pattern at $59.99 (www.chumbo.com) a pop. On top of that I still dont have a dvd either.It looks like I may just wait and see how stable 7.0 and may even wait for 7.1.
What are you guys talking about? SuSE Linux 6.4 was retailed at $49.99 (of which I got for $19.99 at CompUSA, and everywhere else is $29.99) And SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional is retailed at $59.99 a whole ten dollars more. Not double as Mike is stating. So you can expect that 7.0 will sell at places like CompUSA for no more than $40.00. It could be more but SuSE did not double their prices, so if you pay double it is because you got a really great deal in the first place. Can't you guys stop whining about cost and realize things change. There is nothing in the manual that says you have to upgrade everytime a new version comes out, in fact I myself am waiting until 7.1 is released because I just got 6.4 and I am very happy with it. You are right there isn't much more in 7.0 than there was in 6.4, so wait for 7.1 and the jump will be better. Else if you do buy every release of SuSE linux your cost will be more than the cost of NT is between releases and that seems a bit defeating in itself. -- 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
