I wasn't exactly in a panic :) However, I see no reason to order now for a maybe delivery in Sept. What I don't understand is why SuSE announces an upgrade 4 months before they intend to deliver but haven't put any kind of discount program in place. There must be other people like me who would buy now (always a good thing!) but find out there will be an upgrade shortly (sounds like a good thing!) but are told there won't be any discount program (a very bad thing!!!). The obvious result is that I don't want to buy two packages in a row at full price and will a) buy someone else's package who has a better marketing program, b) wait and perhaps change my mind, or c) spend the $$$ on something else altogether. Afterall, if they let me buy 5.2 now and offered a reasonable upgrade price they would have my $$$ in their pocket now and me on the hook for Sept!!!

Don't panic! You can order 5.3 from SuSE right now and they'll send it as soon as it's out. That's what I'm doing . The SuSE folks are always happy to please. And BTW, 5.3 is not a secret, either. I think they made that decision around May. Last I heard from SuSE, 5.3 may not be out till early September (in the US). It will be a set of 5 CDs. Gordy Heitzman

I was about to buy a copy of SuSE 5.2 (actually had placed the order today and then called back and cancelled) when I looked at the SuSE website.
I don't speak German but it sure looked like version 5.3 was about to be released in August. Is this correct? There wasn't a mention of 5.3 on the English pages.
