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
