Onto the issue about having a $25-$30 CD set, how are you going to fit 7 CD's and a DVD onto a Jewel Case? The biggest I have seen only takes
The case for 6.1 could hold 6 CDs. I guess you could add a couple of CDs in paper sleaves to the package.
4...If they could sort out the packaging issue, how much saving would this bring to SuSE? Not selling the manuals does not mean that expense has been spared with releasing the cheaper version for $39. The expense is still there and needs to be coevered.
I'd guess any new package will cost more to make not less. The package needs to be designed. You need to convince retailers to stock the extra unit. [Good luck] You need to eat the ones that don't get sold. So instead of having two different packages that with some getting old you end up with possibly three. People forget it costs money to create multiple versions and to stock them. What I want to know is why are people upgrading? If it's because you need something new thats one thing but I get the impression alot of the upgrading is just to stay up with fashion. If it isn't broke don't fix it. Unless you need something major like glibc why not just grab the odd thing that really needs to be upgraded? Nick
