You can always buy from Amazon.com. In the past they've made it available for pre-order as soon as SuSE / Novell announced it and have had pretty good prices, too.
SuSE 10.1 is not released product at this time. SuSE 10.1 just went to Release Candidate 3 this weekend; if it is available in the retail channels by end of the May I will be surprised. Pre-Order! Oh yeh, right. As a member of the Novell Community, I pre-ordered SuSE 10.0 Retail from Novell directly late last year and had to wait over a month for delivery and Novell wouldn't even tell me when I might get it! It finally showed up on my doorstep in early December as I recall. However, I will endorse Amazon as being a good place to pre-order it as long as you are willing to wait and save some money, a little. Clint
When SuSE was in charge of SuSE a preorder resulted in the package being on my doorstep the day it was available @ retail. That was a real treat. I miss those days. Chuck On 4/29/06, Clint Tinsley <clintin@linuxmail.org> wrote:

Clint I ordered my copy of v10.0 from Novell direct and it was delivered to my doorstep a few days after it was released. And I live in Australia (Canberra, the Capital).

Everything here is "1000 miles from anywhere" :-) which is why this American-created petrol price hike is causing a bit of problem here (or at least will be causing a severe problem very shortly when people really wake up to the price increase). Having said this, things have changed somewhat since the 60's and all cities have seemingly got a bit closer because we now drive cars and even have trains and aeroplanes. Most of the main roads have also been tarred. You wouldn't recognise (note the '-ise') the place now. Cheers. -- I was very heavily into pornography. Then my pornograph broke.

It's all very sprawling still though :-) I was in Adelaide in 2000/2001 and it took me all day to walk from one end of the city to the other. I tried it once for the hell of it :-))) enjoyable though. If you really need to get anywhere distant in Oz you need to go by plane or the Ghan. The one thing I didn't do was visit Uluru and Alice. I really wish I had just for the experience. Sadly I shall never be able to get back now. I will say that I found the Australian people fantastically friendly. I truly loved my time over there. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.

I was impressed by Adelaide. Seemed to be the cleanest and one of the most eye pleasing cities I had ever visited. Limited exposure, three days at three different times and all in 1961-2. Ditto on the people, but didn't care much for 6 o'clock closing in Melbourne, but the 90 minutes upto was pleasurable. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

I stayed in a little motel on the other side of the Torrens. There used to be a brewery just up the road but it was in the process of being demolished while I was there. To bring this into a SuSE setting....I met a guy over there who was an IT tech. I got him very interested in Linux :-) I haven't been in touch for some time but I believe he was looking into setting up SuSE on some PC's at work :-) this was before I have managed to get a distro up and running 'full' time and productively rahter than for play. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.

Yep, and my local Book store had it on the same day... But 10.0 wasn't available in the store for weeks... Jerry

When I bought 10.0, it arrived at my home at 1:45 PM, on the day of release, less than 12 hours after it was shipped. <http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Oct/0656.html>

Mine got here pretty quickly too. I forget now who I ordered from, but it was suggested by a posting to this list. It wasn't Amazon. As I recall, Amazon was a bit cheaper, but took quite a bit longer to get their orders out. Greg Wallace
