Well, 10.0 just arrived at my house, and I am disappointed right off the bat by the packaging.
Unlike 9.3, which had a very nice plastic holder for all the CDs and DVDs, 10.0 has a cheap cardboard box with the 5 CDs and 1 DVD contained within with paper wrappers.
The graphics are nice, but the overall box package is a major step backwards from where it was with SUSE Pro 9.3.

Hi Scott,
A lower price makes SUSE more affordable to more people. I understand your feelings, but you're not being entirely rational. You paid a lot more for 9.3, too. Did you think they could cut your price that much *and* ship all the same "goodies"? Not realistic.
Take some of the money you saved this time and buy a $5 "plastic holder" that fancies you and "quit yer bitchin'" IMHO, the packaging is but a "needle" in a very large "haystack" of quality software. And I was taught early on "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
What about you?
- Carl ========== Carl, I don't see where you figure Novell cut the price? Stop and think a minute about it. The box we get now is not comparable to the Pro version that was out, not at all. It's not even comparable to the Update box we got before and it was only $59.95! From what I can see,

Without a source DVD & Admin printed manual, the only price cut anyone saw was Novell. I do agree that the CD/DVD holders are of little value and as inexpensive as they are in the stores, so cut the whining and get a better one! ;o) The real big thing I'm wondering about is; are there stickers, etc in the box this time!! ;o) end of line Lee
