This is much cheaper than other distributions, even the minimalist Slackware distro cost's more as a boxed set.
Here in the states, I've seen Slack go for about $40-$50 _less_ than SuSE. FreeBSD's 10 CD set with manuals even goes for $20 less than SuSE. Oh, and Linux-Mandrake Deluxe goes for about $10 less than SuSE. So while SuSE is better than these distros, it isn't cheaper.
There are no perfect distro's. Suse is a good attempt at a reasonable price. Their so-called 60 day support however is a joke, maybe they could abandon it and knock something off the price. I find all this talk of Guru's slightly nauseating. Since I have worked with Unix systems most of my professional life ( > 20 years ) maybe I am a Guru ..lol. I wouldn't presume to say so though. I think people who want distribution changes should email info@suse.com and not flaunt their Guru'ness so loudly in this list.
I'm not saying I'm a guru - that was just a thought for a name of a distro that wasn't coming with all the "hand holding" stuff (support and manuals) that the Professional does. Obviously there are other names, but I was trying to describe a concept mainly.
We don't all have broadband or cable modems, just cheap little dial-up modems twinkling at us while trying to get a connection :)
Me too. :-) Although for just $39 a month, it's pretty tempting to get AT&T@Home. Point here is that many people do. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
