Another good question is:
If the release on English it's going to delay to much time to arrive to USA, why can we buy it directly from SuSE Germany (of course on English) ?
This is because the English version is different from the US version - stupid crypto and patent laws require us to leave off some packages from the US distribution.

OK, so there are 2 English versions namely the restrictive US English and the complete UK? English version. As a Canadian who is not subject to US law how do I get a copy of the non-US English version? The only source of real SuSe Linux into Canada at this time appears to be from the US as SuSe is practically invisible in Canada. I have a database of just under 100 local retailers in my area and none of them stock SuSe and the 4 national mail order chains I have dealt with also do not carry SuSe. The Canadian companies listed at suse.com appear to be CD burners (1 or 2 CDs, no manuals). This means that to get SuSe, I and presumably other Canadians need to order from the US and now I find that this is a crippled version. Any way to get the non-US English version?
