SuSE also won't sell directly from Germany in spite of that I have been a customer for several years. They have handeld me ower to a Danish representative. What can happen ??. They can loose a customer, but do not think they will care about it, as they are more busy with industrial work now. On Friday 12 October 2001 18:08, THOMAS ADAM wrote:

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

ready to be released.
And as SuSE/Linux is GNU/GPL anyway...I say COPY COPY

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......
