Why to translate books in any language other than english?

... and in 1836 you paid for SuSE linux two eggs ... SuSE Pro 8.0 price
was not 82€

Support is available (Debian has no support at all)
... and besides this what about this list?

Actually the Debian 'Woody' distro is more expensive ... and includin
the source files you pay about 45€ ... and if you consider that Debian
'Woody' (when it is out - does anybody know when it is out?) it is
technically equal to SuSE 7.3 ... and with 25 € it is cheaper than Debian Woody

A company that does not care about its profits is a dead company ... and
especially today it is hard for a software company to survive ... with
the distros its is like being with/in the church ... nobody tells you you must be in
... I do not think that the configuration tool YAST is determining the
quality of a distro ... and to be honest Debian is not much more stable
than SuSE ... and I do not want to wait for years to receive a distro
that is at the moment of release antiquated ... if you do not like Yast
then you always have the possibility to setup your system by your own
(ENABLE_SUSECONFIG) ... I like the SuSE distros maybe because it was the
first linux distro I used ... so, never mind if you want to leave ... I
wish you good luck
