The story at the URL whines that SuSE is not going to release a freebie this time.
And he is wrong - of course the ftp version will be available RSN.
I don't know why they should. How are they going to make enough money to stay in business if they give away the work that they have to pay their programmers for?
Well, that might be true, but does not seem to be very well accepted in the Linux community. People are so used to getting everything for free, that there will always be an uproar, as soon as there is payment required. I just don't want to know, how much heat Red Hat is receiving since they started charging for their update services.
I would prefer to have a single distro for a price somewhere between the Professional and the home office version, or whatever it's called, with the books, but I suppose I can live with the present situation. For now. I am grateful for the books. Some other distros havew nothing useful available.
