SuSE's subscription price of $34.95US is exactly the same as the retail price for the complete distribution offered by CheapBytes. To my mind the subscription price = street price = full retail price.
I fail to see any benefit to subscribing other than I receive the upgrades (and invoice) automatically. I still maintain that SuSE should have a more attractive upgrade (or subscription) price for it's users.
NO ONE sells retail as cheap as CheapBytes. Everyone else is much higher. $34.95 is a real bargin, IMHO, I don't think there's any room for complaint.

FWIW, I got my SuSE 5.2 from Linux Central (<A HREF="http://www.linuxcentral.com"><A HREF="http://www.linuxcentral.com</A">http://www.linuxcentral.com</A</A>> ) for $34.95 as well. It was $5 to ship from northern Michigan to my home in San Antonio, TX via USPS Priority Mail, and it took 3 business days. If this helps someone on the list, cool. :) Ken -- Ken Schuller Network Systems Specialist NovaNET Learning, Inc. <hint> Take out the spam foil to reply via e-mail. </hint> Incidentally, I speak for me.
