Not sure about the Personal version, but 7.3 Professional has 4 books, smallest of which is close to 200 pages. They are titled: Configure, Application, Network, and Reference. The books have been very helpful, I always prefer something on printed paper instead of man pages. The books still only cover about 1/10 of what I would like to know though so I guess man -k it is.

I decided to buy it because I was impressed with the 6.3 documentation, which I borrowed from a friend; however, I was quite disappointed with the amount of documentation. For instance, the installation documentation didn't begin to address the problems I had in my installation, and the other documentation had nothing about SuSE-specific tools (such as SuSEconfig). I'm thinking about buying 7.3, and I'm wondering if the Professional version documentation is any better than the Personal, or if the 7.3 documentation is better than the 7.0. I don't need the additional software on the Professional version, but I'd consider (reluctantly) spending the additional money to get it if the documenation was better. Incidentally, I'm a long time unix user, but have no experience as a system administrator. I have some books on linux and sysadmining, so don't need any recommendations on O'Reilly-type books, just SuSE documentation.
