Whoever said that the cost of SUSE is too high is having a laugh.
I may not be able to afford every version of Suse though I have most, and last time I bought Personal. But, that doesn't mean its too expensive.
I will be buying Pro 7.1 and probably skip a few after that.
Compare SuSE to what Photoshop, w2k, ms-office cost ....
Supply and demand ? how meny rad tools ala delphi ? Tons of linux distros to cjhoose from , hence the lower price. To be honest ( now I realy need to put on the asbestos underwear after starting this ranting flame war) I would pay the $999.99 as it would allow me to move several apps ro linux and dithc windows far all but one app that I can slap on and older P166 as its used only once a week. Now that will help save my sanity of upkeep and dealing with the three MS4 boxes we have. Linux is just much more stable and reliable.
Now the pricing on the Kylix from Borland, that is a joke. Free edition GPL <- great, but then massive prices of $999 for a desktop version for non-gpl projects. Now that is expensive.
