So, suggestions? Get a European box? ( gotta be a box, the bosses like that.It's a security blanket, so let's keep them happy shall we?)
Exactly! I know it's dumb, but the guys in the suits somehow believe that something that comes out of a nicely printed box is vastly superior to something downloaded from the internet tubes. If the nicely printed box says "Novell" on it somewhere (they've heard of Novell), even better. Maybe it is respectable and not some DFH plot. This is a marketing opportunity not available to the likes of Cannonical and Mandriva going to waste. I bought several boxes with my little mad money account for years just to encourage this. One time my boss noticed that I hadn't opened the one I had prominently displayed in my office, even though SuSE 9.3 was installed all over the department. I learned: buy the box, tear open the flap. -- N. B.
