As I do. I've always bought SuSE Professional, since the 6.0 release if I recall correctly. I couldn't install it w/o help but I bought it anyway; all the way up till 9.3. Even in the old SuSE times it was not that hard to get a burned copy of SuSE, but I bought it anyway. It was fun to unpack the box and to smell the fresh printed handbook. It was something very valuable to me, but now it became fastfood.
What *I* need is a Long Time Supported SuSE Professional with printed handbook and updates tested several times. Not such as the latest 'disastrous' kernel update. With all the multimedia running out of the box for my workstation and a decent Yast-preset for a CLI-server. Maybe even with a support option based on access to a mailing list where a patient dev would answer all the stupid questions I might have. That means added value to me and believe me I really wouldn't mention to pay for it...again!
What disastrous kernel update? And would you like fries with that? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
