No offense intended, but yes it is..and no matter if you believe it
or not..it is. SuSE puts their iso's up about 4 weeks after it has
been released and yes it is to spur on box sales. SuSE puts together
their distribution to make money and with the recent shake ups it
has taken longer.

If you don't want to buy 7.1..then don't. The rest of use will enjoy
the finest product they have put out ever. I love Open Source
software and I am very much in the community...but this f**king free
beer mentality is just getting old. Read the reviews and the
feedback and either buy it or wait until they are ready to release
the iso EVAL. *shrug* Sorry to be blunt, but people in business need
to make money to stay in business. I don't want to see SuSE suffer
the same fate as the dot.bombs did...otherwise we have RH and their
broken version of GCC and wrong headerfiles to deal with and I am
just not willing to accept that.

Just my 0.02
