Then why not make the Professional version available?
The Professional Version often includes other software not covered under the GPL, the ftp version ought to be up in a month or so. I run the 9.0 ftp on my file server.
Those packages don't have to be released in source form. Just binaries. :-) I'm curious as to what these packages are though. I notice there seems to be tons and tons of packages with SuSE.
I don't really know what they were for 9.1, which I'm running on my other systems, but I do know that they had Star Office bundled in with one (7.2 pro IIRC) and I liked it so much I bought the full version of the Star Office. SO 5.2 commercial version shipped with binaries for both Windows and *nix, as well as a better printer driver for the Canon BJC-4300, than gets shipped with CUPS.
Hi thanks. For myself, I just 10 minutes ago, purchase SuSE 9.2 Professional. I tried out version 9.1 on my laptop, and unfortunately out of the box, it doesn't work with my laptop's LCD screen, and during the installation the touch pad (synaptics) was too erratic to be usable. :-( I just get a black screen. I hope that I'll have better luck with version 9.2. I'm curious about the printer support. I had Windows 2K3 be an LP server, which essentially translates postscript printjobs to GDI print jobs and sends it to the native Windows-only printer driver. Though, you don't get the best of quality, but it works. Though I would dearly love to get this Epson Sylus Color R400 variety to work natively. :-) BTW, when I mentioned tons of packages, that was a good thing. I am really impressed by the large number of packages that come with SuSE. -- joaquin
