couldn't we *drop* the boxed edition? We could still sell a *manual*
Do you really believe that people interested in the distribution will buy a manual that is available online anyway ?
Yes, I would.
I think a lot of the value of the boxed edition isn't the physical media - it's the support bundled and the manual. I bought a boxed edition for my first install, and have been using the downloaded version since.
Notice that the book currently included with the box is not the thick book that /was/ included with the box 2 or 3 years ago, and which is the one I would like to have in paper now and then. It would be the one that they include as html or pdf, the "/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/index.html", I think, that was called the "admin" book.
And, if creating a new DVD is expensive, would it be possible to create and include a CD with the updates (or the core updates) which could be added to the box.
