Just order it from suse.de web site with credit card, they will deliver it to UK without any problem.
That's not quite the point - I like to use LE because they are a good company, always give excellent service, and I believe that they deserve my support - AIUI, they were pretty much the first Linux vendor in the UK, and have stayed 'true to the cause'. There are other resellers around which might have SuSE Update, but I'd prefer to use LE if possible. If nothing else, they run a very active and friendly mailing list, where I am a regular subscriber (and poster). I'd like to ensure that it continues, and purchasing my Linux products through them goes some way to doing that. Support your local businesses, and all that...
Also, you can download desired update from ftp.
However, I'd like to avoid the hassle of downloading with FTP, plus I get the advantage of the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting the distro that I like... :-)
Since you're in the EU: http://shop.mensys.nl/SuSELinux/ http://216.33.240.250:80/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=c96574c4d221820fcd87369a0312a447&lat=1019339504&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fshop%2emensys%2enl%2fSuSELinux%2f Of course if you're determined to buy from that particular distributor, you limit your options. I've seen it several places. This is just one. John
