Hello, everyone.
I have noticed a disturbing trend in recent weeks of
people begging for free
copies of our favourite distro. Is this beginning to

No...not really. The professional version of SuSE 7.3 was released at £50.....by the time that goes down to a reasonable price to buy...the next version is more or less ready to be released.
And as SuSE/Linux is GNU/GPL anyway...I say COPY COPY COPY away...

And when SuSE goes out of business? You'll just move on to the next distro I assume.
No...Not at all. My point was, is it SuSE that decides how much they are going to sell both their products (personal/professional), or is it the retailers??? I don't mind paying £50 for the professional edition, but I certainly won't be upgrading each time SuSE releases their next version. Traditionally, I upgrade every 12/18 months...... --Thomas Adam ----------- Thomas Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- <www.linuxgazette.com> A Student at the "Southampton Institute", Southampton, Hants, ENGLAND
