With previous versions it was possible to pre-order. Now that is not the case or am I looking in the wrong direction? Also there used to be a Pro and an Update version.

I'm assuming that as the price has been dropped it'll just be one.

I can pre-order it already here in the Netherlands http://shop.mensys.nl/cgi-bin/db2www/mns_art2.d2w/report?catname=SuSELinux&username=&i1=&o=&x=14:17:11&Search=SUSE&C=400 I've ordered from these guys in the past... I can't remeber if you're in BE or in the NL.. so dont' know if this link is any good to you. Also, the Computercollectief have it http://www.comcol.nl/detail/sicxlc03.htm#56160 I ordered from them for 9.3, and they delivered it the day 9.3 was released. C.

Well, it was not so much for me personally as it was a general question. I looked at the Belgian stores and none had it. I think it is strange, because the FTP version will be online the same moment it hits the store, it will keep people away from buying. There used to be a short time that people wanted the latest version and could not wait for the FTP version.

If it's not available right away, I can definitely see people doing an FTP install and not bothering with the CD set. For me though, I'd much rather have the DVD/CDs even though I have a 10Mbit internet connection and could FTP it. I install SUSE on a lot of machines (home, work, friends) and I'd be lost without my master DVD. I can't rely on fast internet outside of my house... I never know what people have - it's scary how many people are still on dialup or ISDN here... and I also carry it with me when I go to Kenya - I've got one computer there (and maybe more on the next trip) that runs SUSE (for almost 2 years now) :-) C.

http://www.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs The following will also work for making your own DVD. Nice if you want to include MPlayer and other stuff on your own master DVD: http://www.opensuse.org/1_CD_install#How_to_create_your_own_1_CD_install houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

So, an update version, with only cds & dvds will not be available?. In foreign countries, without the weight of printed manuals, is cheaper the shipping. -- -.Francisco Acosta.- chesco@idea.com.py

Ah. No Admin guide? So that is the real reason it is cheaper. You get an update version with a User guide instead of an admin guide. Only one manual. Can anybody confirm that there is no Admin guide? houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
