all the more reason to keep the BS factor and smoke and mirrors stuff to a minimum. The reason I continue to buy suse is the rock solid product , the new two tone pricing structure does not make me happy. I have bought every version since 5.3 most of them for $29.99 and am not happy with being hit for M$ type pricing of 7.0 / 7.1 That and there new "strategy has turned off a LOT of LOYAL suse useres who put them there.I seems that they want to go closer to the enterprise big corperate customer and not there mainstay linux users of the past. If that does contimnue , I will look into another distro , most likely Debian. I am trully sorry for the layoffs , but to be frank , it comes as no surprise. At 04:49 PM 2/7/2001 -0500, joe wrote:

SuSE was to offset lower than expected sales. A lot of other linux companies will suffer the same fate. Times have changed, the ecomomic climate for
prices by linux in
America is not the same as it was a year ago.
