hi
        i dont know abt u ppl, but for me , i got Redhat 7.0 ( another
.0 release -- also buggy ) for around Rs. 200 , that's just abt $4 if i'm
right. all it cost me was the cost of the empty cds.  What i think ( i'm
not forcing u ) is that , once the linux enthusiasts get hold of a release
( the more  the better) then it's very easy and simple to sell it to ppl
whose money really matters. Actually it's good advertisement for the
release itself, the more it's used, the better. 
        Well, i dont know what the problem is right now with Suse in
getting the ftp up, but if it is a business strategy, it's just not gonna
work 

cheers
