You can download ~ 650Mb CD in an hour. Six CD's is about a 6 hour download if you take everything instead of just what you need. It takes far longer than that to have it mailed to you and almost as long to find time to go to the store and locate what I want ( Though it's getting easier to find Linux! ). Of course the University here keeps copies of all the popular current distros so it's a pretty fast connection if you're anywhere near (on campus is very fast..). Check w/ your local LUG to see if they keep copies too. :)

7.1 will have all the crypto stuff on the CD's even for the US.
I have a DSL line, but still will get the CD's, as its a whole lot faster for me to upgrade via and install off of them than hunting down packages. But I can see why people will use the download and retrieve method.

Apparently, this is still up in the air. Did SuSE really lay people off in the U.S. office? (Would not surprised me that much since the current market probably sink their opportunity to do a IPO now or on more favorable terms.) Or, did a single fired employee start rumors to get back at SuSE?
Either way, business is business, and I hope we don't see a removal of the SuSE distribution from the U.S. market
You can allways order the international version , has all the krypto stuff as well.

are laying off most of the staff.
Good luck to all the staff!
Hopefully you will all stay in the Linux field and hopefully things will get to turn round sometime in the future.
I really hoped nothing like this would happen to an non-IPO company, or the slumps owuld not affect them as much as IPO ones...

It's a little disturbing that the SuSE PR person could come out and just tell a blatant untruth. Well, I believe the part about expanding marketing and sales, it fits with the blatant untruth part. Sign of things to come?
