Hi,
I have a purchased copy of 8.1 pro. I love it. I would like to go to 8.2 but I have several questions.
1 - Can I do this on-line for free?
You could try apt to do the upgrading. Please read the apt site. http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ at the bottom of the page there is a "an alternative upgrade" link.
2 - Can the update go over my 8.1 installation or do I have to reload.
I think most people had problems loading it on top of 8.1. Check the archives ...
3 - Are there ISO images available for download?
I'm pretty sure SuSE doesn't do the iso thing. But you can get most of the distribution from the ftp server.
4 - All this failing is it possible to purchase an upgrade at reduced price and where can I get it.

5 - When is the next version due out?
They are beta tessting it now(I believe). I'd wait til the next version but the upgrade version is probably the most economical alternative out there. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
