Not the only one apparently... I ordered my 7.2 Pro version before the release date, and I still don't have it. The local company distributing it locally says that SuSE has still not shipped 7.2 Pro to them... I guess someone underestimated the demand for 7.2. A bit frustrating though. C.
I ordered 72 Pro from softwarebuys.com on Monday and it was backordered also. It just shipped earlier today. Glad there is a demand for SuSE though. ;-) James Denver, Colorado state, usA *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/6/2001 at 8:25 PM Clayton Cornell wrote:

According to PCdata, SuSE _is_ the most popular distribution. http://australia.internet.com/r/article/jsp/sid/976077 Quote from site: The report, which was released on March 3, 2001, showed that Suse Linux had a 48.3% share of the market compared to Red Hats' 28.9%. Further behind are distributions published by Macmillan, with 20.8%. Since RedHat _was_ the most popular distribution before this year, we can mostly attribute SuSE's success to technical superiority. Anything else? -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0

I don't know if this is the same report that was discussed on this list several months ago, but if it is it reports the sale of linux distributions over a short period (a month, I believe it was) and it came a short time after suse 7.1 was released. Since it was the only new release at the time, it's not *that* surprising that suse should get a big lead in the numbers. It has, however, been growing steadily, and why not? Of all the linux dists I've tried it is by far and away the best. German/European know-how, you know :) It would be interesting to see some more numbers in this area. Especially ones that regards actual use, instead of just sales (which, as the article says, are very unreliable when it comes to OS software). Does anyone know where such numbers can be found? Anders
Linux Co.' s seem to be better at software than at business <G>. BTW... I
sadly noted the
passing of Stormix when I tried to access their site today....
