Hi, I am completely agree, upgrade pricing is meaningless. If I would buy all upgrades, SuSE Linux (x86 + PPC) would cost me $400/year (roughly $100 for each quarterly version), including shipment cost. I cannot say it is very cheap. So, am agree to buy full pro version (x86 + PPC) once a year (and already did), and then 3 quarterly upgrades for $15 or so. I just do not need manuals for each upgrade, I see no reasons to waste a paper. I am understand that SuSE GmbH somehow have to survive and continue development, but I am not sure $400/year is a reasonable price for Linux distribution, albeit a very good one. Andrei
