My 64-bit laptop is still running SuSE 9.3 taht i had installed at the actory about 6 months ago. I haven't had the guts to update for fear to clash with unknown non-standard h/w components.

I can't speak for laptops, but I've not had issues with 9.3 or 10.0. Then again, it depends on what you have installed...
I've already been alerted that the gcc compiler coming with 10.0 cannot compile the CERN library that to me is vital.
Actually I've contacted the local CompUSA, Best Buy, Circui City stores looking for SuSE Pro 10.0 and 10.1. Surprisingly they do not carry it. I've always got all new SuSE version at CompUSA in St.Louis MO as well as in Knoxville TN ...
Strange, our (DE) CompUSA has had all of them. Can't say for the others. I'm not a fan of BB or CC. Amazon sells 10.1 for $54 - free shipping. Novel should also have it on their site. Amazon also has 10.0. Personally (and I think many on the list would agree) I would go with 10.0 for now. Remember, there is no "pro" now.
do you mean neither 10.0 nor 10.1 are issued as a professional distro ?
The version you download isn't the same as what you can buy. Some stuff is missing.
I know that. Thsa's why I prefer to get the green professional box. That's what I've been doing so far
I've strte to downl;oad SuSE 10.0 but it's going to take forever ... I do not think thsi is the way to go for me. Where can find the familiar SuSE green box (I hope they haven't change its color in the meantime ) ?
You could have someone burn you a set of disks and send them to you...
Here at FNAL they have adopted Red Hat. I've just been here for 6 weeks.I do not know anyone close to me who is running SuSE.
Don't you have any place you can go to down load for free? A local community college? A Library? Sure. I have started the downloading process of 10.0 at the lab. It'll take forever. I also have 6.0 Mbs DSL at home but I'd like to avoid long (maybe over a week) downloading.

I know of salesman that need to check their email when on the road and they drive into any neighborhood and just grab anyone's wireless they can find. I've found wireless in business parks.
Good luck,
Thanks, George
