One of the PR announcements made a reference to the price of the Pro Update. I'm still looking for pre-order options for it. So far, only the full boxed set for the Pro version is showing up. Barry On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 22:01:30 -0400 (EDT), George Stoianov wrote:

Having used the 'update' package for several SuSE versions, I've come to the conclusion that 'update' refers to moving from the 'Personal' at a given version to the 'Professional' at that SAME version, and __not__ to an "update" from a previous SuSE version to a newer SuSE version. In other words, compared to the 'Professional' package, the 'update' package includes the CDs/DVDs and the Administration Guide from the 'Professional' package, but leaves out the User Guide. The 'update' package saves money over the full 'Professional' package, since SuSE thinks you already *have* a User Guide from when you purchased the 'Personal' package which you are now "updating" to the 'Pro' level. mikus

No. The SUSE Pro Update has the same DVDs, CDs and Admin Guide as the full Pro package. The SUSE Pro Update does not have the User Guide.

In other words, compared to the 'Professional' package, the 'update' package includes the CDs/DVDs and the Administration Guide from the 'Professional' package, but leaves out the User Guide.

Correct.

The 'update' package saves money over the full 'Professional' package,

Correct. Only the User Guide is missing and what, about $30US?

since SuSE thinks you already *have* a User Guide from when you purchased the 'Personal' package which you are now "updating" to the 'Pro' level.

Incorrect. SUSE is giving you a price break with the SUSE Pro Update because they assume you are an experienced SUSE or Linux user that really doesn't need the User Guide but does want to save some money.

Looking at the Novell web site Oct 17 at 5 pm EDT (U.S.), the British and German pages offer preorders of both the 9.2 Professional and the 9.2 Update -- but the U.S. (i.e., worldwide) page offers __only__ the 9.2 Professional ($90) for preorder, and NOT the 9.2 Update ($60). mikus

That is a price list, but you CAN'T order it. Fred -- "Running Windows on a Pentium is like getting a Porsche but only being able to drive it in reverse with the handbrake on."

Hi guys, I just tried it 8:20 P.M. EST the price list is there but clicking on North America gives only one option the complete version with the books. I hope that they add the "update" as well I like the books and have those for 8.2 and 9.1 but for this one I just need the CDs and 30 bucks less is good too as I have to pay taxes too to get it in Canada.

Nothing has that dramatically changed since 9.1, so I guess there will little change there also. I bet you could successfully use some old SuSE books, maybe as early as 7.x. As forecast, Gnome is one step behind as usual, porbably due to the fact that SuSE and gnome release cycles seem to be too close for inclusion of the latest gnome. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

"Easy-to-use desktop interfaces: KDE 3.3 and GNOME 2.6" C&P from the SuSE site- 9.2 Pro, a new release of gnome usually preceeds a SuSE update by not very long and they seem more geared up to do KDE than gnome.
