Maybe that's the plan. SuSE had to lay off it's U.S. staff and they're probably over working their support staff im Deutchland. So, overworked staff can't handle all the support requests and many go fallow. Maybe things will get better when a bulk of users support periods expire? -----Original Message----- From: David C.

I purchased the full professional 7.1 package for the going retail price. When the software would not, and still does not, install on my machine the response from SuSE technical support is to basically totally ignore my requests for support, the support I paid for in advance and of which there were to be 60 days worth. So far I've received in response to my requests two replies asking for more info both of which were thoroughly answered. Last reply from me to their request was over 3 weeks ago. I'm now five weeks into the 60 day support period with NOTHING having been provided. I guess it is a case of buyer beware when purchasing SuSE Linux 7.1 dave johanson
