I believe you may be missing my point. I have absolutely NOTHING against SuSE's distribution. In fact, I'd like to buy it. However, I don't want to buy 5.2 now and in a few weeks buy 5.3 at the full retail price.
If two companies are selling the complete SuSE distribution for $34.95 then that to me is the street value of the product. If these companies were also offering the subscription program at a similiarly reduced price (ie. $34.95 - $15.00 = $20.00) then I would simply go out and buy. t seems though that only SuSE sells the subscriptions. If I'm wrong please let me know (I'm sure you will :) !!).
I believe RH does but I'm not sure about Caldera. Before I make my decision to "move" to Linux, I visited several sites where other flavors of Linux were installed, and of course, a couple of SuSE installations as well. After a little "hands on" with all of them, I bought SuSE. Sure, Linux MUST get better....it HAS to, but SuSE has the BEST distribution and they are working hard to make Linux the OS it should be and DESERVES to be. Fred -- Fred A.
