Not a bad idea, sorry bout the iso question, but I keep buying Suse pro packages everytime there is a new release since 6.4. An update service with just the software would better. Anders Johansson wrote:

Does anybody know a good ftp server with SuSE 7.3 ISO images?
Uh oh....preparing for massive mailinglist load.
I know this subject has been duscussed before and I know the normal answer to it, and I have to say I agree. A company has to be allowed to earn money.
But I do have a suggestion to solve another problem. I've bought all suse versions 6.1 - 7.3, and on all occasions I've had the same problem: delivery. Usually I have to read about other's installations on this list for over a month before my own copy arrives.
So here's my suggestion: an online download subscription service. I pay my money to suse just as I would if I bought the boxed set, only what I'm paying for is bandwidth for an online download. SuSE gets their money, I get my software in a reasonable time, the load on the already stretched SuSE logistics is lessened, everybody is happy.
If it helps any, I think RedHat has a service pretty similar to this :)
What do you people think about it?
