The wording on the Amazon.com product detail page
(<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000BD1R8U>) is perhaps
ambiguous, but it does suggest no administrator's guide is included:

Product Description
SUSE Linux 10.0 from Novell provides everything today's Linux user needs
for home computing and computing-on-the-go. Created by the openSUSE
project, the product includes a stabilized, secure and reliable Linux
operating system plus a complete set of desktop applications - office
suite, Web browser, instant messaging client, multimedia viewers, and
graphical software. It also offers the latest open source applications

server, and more. With the convenience of installation media, printed
documentation, and installation support, SUSE Linux delivers desktop
reliability and security at an affordable price.

One might observe that this hypothesis (inclusion of a user guide only)
is consistent with the lower price, comparable to the old upgrade
price, which included only one manual.
