Hi- I gueas I did not type clearly. IMHO 1. I think that http://pctech101.com/products.php?cat=41 is gray market at best (and IMHO should be avoided) 2. I think that chumbo.com is legitimate (as indicated by LeRoy H. Maxwell III) so I ordered from chumbo.com 3. For $2 and shipping I would have ordered from Suse (Novell) to cutout middle man and provide more profit for novell to put in Suse development but Novell appears to have hosed up what was previously previously good marketing by SUSE. (I must confess a prejudice against Novell after being forced to to use gropewisely (or was it groupwise?) at a previous employer. I thought buying SUSE was a wise move by Novell but their web page leaves me in doubt) Regards Bob -----Original Message----- From: sean-lynch@sean-lynch.com [mailto:sean-lynch@sean-lynch.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 14:23 To: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] 9.2 in USA summary --THE REAL DEAL $59.00 US is the usual price for the SuSE Pro upgrade, so a reseller having it for $57.00 US is not unusual.

Wrong-- I got mine from chumbo.com and the discs are OFFICIAL SuSE boxed, sealed, printed discs not copies with the administration manual.. No users manual though other than that. It's the same as the full version

Andy-
I suspect that they copy the disks from Suse and do not provide manuals of any type. If so this is some type of gray market. Although this may be legal it is not good for Suse or Novell and probably will result in slower Linux development. Anyone from SUSE (Novell) care to comment?
Than

Amazon.com is full verison for $80.00 (november 10 ship) Chumbo.com is upgrade to $57.00 (in stock) (thanx to Leroy Maxwell) (I just ordered) Thanx 2 all
i am wondering about these offers and if they are truly valid and legitimate:
http://pctech101.com/products.php?cat=41
they only seem to ship the media, (you can find both manuals on the media itself, if you can live without the real paper)
cheers
