I have a feeling that OpenSUSE is going the way of Fedora Core. I'm
doubtful that any more boxed sets will be released for sale. It's never been a money maker and it's gotten less & less with each
release,
so I suspect Novell will end it just as Red Hat did.
By reading the announcement of Andreas Jaeger http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2006-12/msg00000.html I would clearly say that boxes will appear. Or how else would you interpret the paragraph <quote who="Andreas Jaeger"> CD production is starting now and I hope to see some shiny green openSUSE 10.2 boxes on the shelves before Christmas. </quote>
I would say that boxes are expected to be on the shelfs before christmas?

No problem, then.

No opportunity for Fry's as Michael stated that in North America it'll only be available via http://shop.novell.com.

Below copied from a previous e-mail in this thread: === openSUSE 10.2 (pyhsical boxes) are currently in production and should be dlivererd to distributors next week. That means first boxes could/should be on the shelf Dec 14/15. For NA openSUSE 10.2 will be available only through shopNovell.com. For EMEA box business remains as is (in retail shops, in onlineshops etc.) and in different countries.

Ahh, paranoia at its best. But I have to disappoint you, the answer is `No´!

Which r-e-a-l-l-y r-e-a-l-l-y *sucks*. I bet all the SuSE resellers in North America aren't too pleased about it either.
Will you accept payments by money order?

Perhaps some smart guy at Fry's could ask our NA sales reps for a bunch of Boxes? We have no reason to hide them (*). It was lack of commercial interrest - on one side or the other, I guess.
cheers, Jw.
(*) them, the boxes. Don't know about them sales reps. :-)

If there's lack of interest, it's not on Fry's part, since they've carried every SuSE version for at least the past several years.
As for "smart guys," there's no sign of them at Fry's, at least not on the sales floor... But then again, I guess you can't run a business of that magnitude without something going on.
cheers, Jw.

Just to echo Randall's point, perhaps some smart guy at the Novell sales dept could get on the phone and call every one of them (and Fry's doesn't do me any good, they aren't in Canada AFAIK) and ask how many million copies they want?
cheers, Jw.(*) them, the boxes. Don't know about them sales reps. :-)
Don't trust anyone who doesn't know anything significant about the product he is selling, and that means don't trust any of them :-)
