Have you looked at the "documentation" for other distro's????? SuSE has such wonderful books (assuming you buy the PRO version) that there is no comparison in any other. Being that Germans wrote it for English-speaking people, I will be very happy to have the information, with the (few) spelling and grammar errors.
Yeah, most other distros suck even more. :)
How would you like to write a manual for Germans? Is your German good enough to avoid all that? Mine isn't, and I have studied the language and spent some time in Germany. I would not like to have to translate the manuals into German! Especially in a short time. Perhaps if I had a few years--and then I wouldn't get it all right, anyway. I'll let you know something: Altho I speak the language reasonably well, it takes a German about two sentences to guess that my native language is English. The only thing they can't figure out is which English- speaking country I come from.
There may be some problems with the SuSE Linux distributions, but manuals certainly are not part of those! I went out of my way to buy the professional version, simply to have those manuals.
Maybe you got better manuals than me then, I got the personal edition. I thought the attractive thing about the Pro version was mainly the DVD disc though. If I had a DVD drive I might've gotten it instead, just 'cuz I hate having to swap CDs every time it asks "Please insert CD#<X>, currently CD#<Y> is inserted." That reminds me, I don't think I've ever looked or used at the 3rd CD. ...
(This has nothing to do with the usefulness (or not) of a subscription service. I simply had to comment on your stated disapprobation of the manuals.)
