I agree. As a user who has been with SUSE since 5.? I get frustrated withits update process. I do not mind buying one update a year at full price. (the manuals are worthit!) but I carry on remigrating to debian or progeny because of a better packaging and update system. Updating to the next release on line is a sensible option for registered users. /dlh. On Friday 12 October 2001 22:31, Jon Biddell wrote:

This is why I signed up for the subscription. The price was reduced as compared to the normal release, and I was guaranteed to keep getting the latest release without having to order it. It wan't free, but it was cheaper. As I saw it, I got a break on the price and SuSE benefitted by being able to count on a certain number of boxes from each release already being sold. They guarnateed me an update, and I covered their lower costs by being predictable. I seem to remember a message here recently, however, that indicated that the subscription was no more. Guess they weren't getting as many pre-sold boxes as they thought they would, or something...
(Still waiting on my 7.2 Pro subscription update for the PPC...)
It's OK for you lot in Europe - we in Australia cannot GET a subscription, and if we could, it would be horrendously expensive.
A CD only upgrade is what is needed, with manuals as an option (or include them on the disk).
