Re: [SLE] Something doesn't seem right.
Then you should see what it looks like from a paid customer's POV. I paid for SuSE 10 and it is still on back-order. Supposed to be shipped 30 Sept. What good is free shipping if it is still at the printers? I think the demand for the product is gumming up the works over at Novell. Never had this problem when Suse was running it.

Date: Mon Oct 3, 2005 6:57 pm Size: 726 bytes To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Why is it that at www.novell.com and the suse site within it, there's NO bold and bragging news about SUSE 10.0?! By now, there SHOULD be a LOT of fanfare about it instead of an old release.....9.3. Either something isn't "right" at Novell or whoever does the web pages has been asleep for sometime.

You're right - damn, they're good! They probably wash up before they eat their dinner as well.

From my order confirmation for 10.0:
<quote> Product Name Qty Ordered Delivery Method Price ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE Linux 10.0 Ships Sept. 30th 1 TPFA 33.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub Total: 33.10 49.04 EUR Total: 33.10 49.04 EUR </quote> Still hasn't arrived her as yet, but I'm not expecting it to quite yet. Just a few lines down in the same mail: <quote> When your order does ship, please allow the following delivery times: - For UPS Ground shipments, please allow 5 - 7 business days for delivery. - For FedEx shipments within the United States, please allow 2 - 3 business days for delivery. - For FedEx shipments outside of the United States, please allow 3 - 5 business days for delivery. </quote> all of which point towards it arriving on my doorstep sometime between tomorrow and Friday.
