I find no value in the 10.0 package, I need an admin manual a lot more than I need a start up manual (think about it, you only 'start up' once, you admin stuff all the time), and I appreciated the Media holder to protect the media I purchased. The sticker was a nice touch, kind of a thank you to the customer. They are all gone in 10.0, so why bother buying the box set in the first place? Might as well just download the ISO's....

Sounds like if they are trying to get folks to stop buying the box, they are certainly doing all the right things. Maybe they didn't cut out the retail version like Red Hat did, but they certainly make you wonder why you bothered purchasing it, don't they? Wonder what they will want to charge you for the source DVD. You would think they would offer the Admin manual as a separate purchase too.
I'm kinda feeling that Novell/SuSE dropped the ball on the retail package this time. Hope it's not a trend for them.

You guys are definitely not hard core Linux users. You bitch and complain about some things that Micro$oft quit offering year's ago and they charge you out the ass. Remember Windows 95 and it's manual? Where did that go to? Your only getting a single 32bit CD from MS. Where as you got 32bit and 64bit on a nice hard copy disk set as well as helping to support a great company and a great OS.
