I wasn't exactly in a panic :)
However, I see no reason to order now for a maybe delivery in Sept. What I don't understand is why SuSE announces an upgrade 4 months before they intend to deliver but haven't put any kind of discount program in place.
There must be other people like me who would buy now (always a good thing!) but find out there will be an upgrade shortly (sounds like a good thing!) but are told there won't be any discount program (a very bad thing!!!).
The obvious result is that I don't want to buy two packages in a row at full price and will a) buy someone else's package who has a better marketing program, b) wait and perhaps change my mind, or c) spend the $$$ on something else altogether.
Afterall, if they let me buy 5.2 now and offered a reasonable upgrade price they would have my $$$ in their pocket now and me on the hook for Sept!!!
Gerry, first, I was told Aug. when I talked to SuSE earlier this week. Second, they DO have a discounted price when you sign up for it....$33 each set of CD's when they release plus the manual. Try getting that good deal from MickySoft. Fred -- Fred A. Miller, Systems Administrator Cornell Univ.
