I couldn't agree with you more. I was using RedHat 8 & 9. I had even paid for the $60 Subscription service for each. Then out of the blue I get the email saying they were not going to offer it anymore. I was so mad. Luckily I foud SuSe and have been very happy. I they no longer offer SuSe Pro in a box. I think that would force me to fine another distro. Things have been going so well, too. Aaron

"Novell will be launching a community-based Linux distribution, OpenSuSE, at next week's LinuxWorld in San Francisco, according to sources close to the company.

Following in the footsteps of Red Hat Inc. with its successful Fedora Project Linux distribution, Novell Inc. will be opening up its Linux development efforts with OpenSuSE, sources said.

A site, opensuse.org, has already been set up for the project by Novell under the name of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne. The site, however, is not open for business yet."

I hope this doesn't spell the end for a consumer SuSE distro in a box. The SuSE printed docs are excellent and worth every penny of the retail price tag.

The reason I went with SuSE instead of Red Hat was due to Red Hat abandoning the consumer boxed distro. (And being about twice the price of SuSE at that time didn't earn them points either.)

Please let the lizard continue living in the box.
