Regarding retail availability of SuSE, I believe that something political is happening. I ordered mine from SuSE (and got it, and don't want to total up all the costs to know what I actually paid for 8.0 Pro...). But that was after I couldn' get it at local retail
Here in Ottawa, Novo Club was a SuSE retailer for years, and they stopped carrying it (before they went belly-up). So, I tried other local distributors -- including Camelot in Montreal, and MicroAge (used by my employer for all their SW and HW needs)-- and they all had the same story: The regional distributor is no longer carrying SuSE, and they are/were waiting for a resolution. Mandrake and a couple of other distros were similarly not reaching retailers.
snip... Computer Books for Less has been carrying SuSE, Red Hat, Mandrake, and OpenBSD for several years. They have all the current versions in stock. SuSE Pro is $139.95 and Personal is $69.95.
