If that's the case, order the pro "upgrade" version -- despite the ominous sounding word "upgrade" in the name, it really is "the full package" so far as the CD/DVD's and what's on them (meaning you CAN do a full install "from scratch") What is missing from the "package" proper is one manual [the overly cheesy "new user" guide] and 30 of the 90 days worth of "installation support" -- and for that they knock off about $40. The final caveat is that the "upgrade" is usually only availble "online"...
Yeah, I know about the upgrade. I still lean towrads the Pro, though, because it makes handing it off to newbies easier. The last two times I bought SuSE I gave away my previous version to someone totally new to Linux. You can imagine that having that package with the books (the books SuSE does are really good also) and everything is a great introduction to Linux. So that's why I generally go that route. Preston
