I've bought a brand new Dell Dimension 8300 with a Serial-ATA drive. <snip>
Also there's the issue of buying the SuSE update CD. I paid for the first one in the hope of paying less for each successive upgrade. Can I install the Upgrade pack on a PC, which hasn't first got SuSE 9 installed on it? What limits are there with the update pack?
to quote a preveous message on this list: "The Update Version is identical to the normal version except it has less dead Trees" Meaning one manual less. As I understand it, SuSE encorages you to install SuSE on as many machines as possible, (yours, family, friends, and neighbors [but for your enemies install windows XP Home 8-]) There are some applications on SuSE linux DVD, that are licensed by SuSE for you, these you should not install on other machines... Jerry P.S. I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong!
Thanks for any advice -- Bryan Feeney
