I dont know where you getting this free f**cking attitude. Read my message closely. I do purchase boxed sets. For those of you that cant count or are being to righteous (*cough*ben*cough*), I have bought 4 of them, most of the 6 series. Now back to our reading lesson. Free as in free evaluation, free TEST DRIVE you morons (not directed at anyone specific I guess), not free as in the "Price is Right". I dont think I am going to take any more flack from people that refuse to read (and understand, remember it takes both). It was meant as a question, THAT IS ALL. If I truly wanted a distro that was "FREE AS IN BEER", there is one setup for that, Debian. Now the reason that I said it didnt matter, because its not that big of a jump, read within the context of the email, means that I would purchase it without an eval first. Sorry about the "perceived" attack on your holy grail. PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE. END OF DISCUSSION.

Lenz, whats going on..
No offense intended, but yes it is..and no matter if you believe it or not..it is. SuSE puts their iso's up about 4 weeks after it has been released and yes it is to spur on box sales. SuSE puts together their distribution to make money and with the recent shake ups it has taken longer.
If you don't want to buy 7.1..then don't. The rest of use will enjoy the finest product they have put out ever. I love Open Source software and I am very much in the community...but this f**king free beer mentality is just getting old. Read the reviews and the feedback and either buy it or wait until they are ready to release the iso EVAL. *shrug* Sorry to be blunt, but people in business need to make money to stay in business. I don't want to see SuSE suffer the same fate as the dot.bombs did...otherwise we have RH and their broken version of GCC and wrong headerfiles to deal with and I am just not willing to accept that.
Just my 0.02 * NOC - Kulish Consulting (noc@kulish.com) [010323 09:02]: =>I dont =>think 7.1 is that big of a jump from 7.0 (with the 2.4.2 kernel), which I am =>running now.
