For that reason and others : - Books are not translated in french any more
Why to translate books in any language other than english?

... and in 1836 you paid for SuSE linux two eggs ... SuSE Pro 8.0 price was not 82€
- Support no more available to me and many others, people
Support is available (Debian has no support at all) ... and besides this what about this list?
I'm going to buy Debian 3.0 (3 CD, < 10 euros),
Actually the Debian 'Woody' distro is more expensive ... and includin the source files you pay about 45€ ... and if you consider that Debian 'Woody' (when it is out - does anybody know when it is out?) it is technically equal to SuSE 7.3 ... and with 25 € it is cheaper than Debian Woody
B.S. again : SuSE management does exactly what it thinks better for profit rising, I do exactly what I think better serves my interests...
A company that does not care about its profits is a dead company ... and especially today it is hard for a software company to survive ... with the distros its is like being with/in the church ... nobody tells you you must be in ... I do not think that the configuration tool YAST is determining the quality of a distro ... and to be honest Debian is not much more stable than SuSE ... and I do not want to wait for years to receive a distro that is at the moment of release antiquated ... if you do not like Yast then you always have the possibility to setup your system by your own (ENABLE_SUSECONFIG) ... I like the SuSE distros maybe because it was the first linux distro I used ... so, never mind if you want to leave ... I wish you good luck Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang-bang fruit
