Hi all
I am afraid that SuSE's silence is deafening on this matter.
Where did the news that SuSE will distribute two different distributions come from? I wonder if they have leaked the info to test if SuSE customers would be happy with this move?
I understand that there is a market to produce a version without a manual, but I think SuSE do produce a CD set without a manual already, so it looks like plans to produce distros like RH.
I personally purchased SuSE 6 and 6.3 because of the excellent reviews and the good value for money. Hopefully any move to split the distro in to specialist areas will maintain an excellent distro and value for money, otherwise there are plenty of other distros to use.

Hi all, I am afraid that SuSE's silence is deafening on this matter. I would have thought that jumping on the RH bandwagon, i.e. selling a "come and get me" distro on 1 CD for a few $ and charging a lot more for the multi CD "Professional Edition" would be a detrimental move.

There's nothing on the US SuSE site(www.suse.com). But, there is something at www.suse.de. However, "Ich spreche nicht Deutsch." - That's about the extent of my German. Maybe I'll get my German co-worker to transalte it for me. Since it's a German company, I would expect them to release newer versions in Europe before they're available in the States.

Strange thing is that you can't find anything at the SuSE web-sites about this, but take a look at these sites for example:

I hope they have the vision to offer a shortform "Expert" edition including the "Professional" CDs, registration card and plain box.
