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....
Oh, drat! This may be my fault. From 5.2 (or was it 5.1) onward, I bought the full boxed version of every release until 9.3 Pro. That was the very first time that I "went cheap" and purchased just the Upgrade box set. That was it... I was the straw that broke the camel's back. The counter ticked over and SuSE/Novell said: "Looks like the ratio of Full-version purchasers to Update-only purchasers has tipped. It's time we pared-down the physical offering." Terribly sorry. Selfish of me, and they appear to have caught me on it......... ruined it for everybody... :-) Kevin (who liked the plastic _badge_ that he got in an early package, better than the mere stickers that have come with the recent releases.... ok, yes I am teasing)
