Has anyone here purchased the 7.3 distro from the suse website? I did and have yet to get my distro. I did just purchase the "SuSE Linux 7.3 IA32 Update" but I would have thought it would have been here by now. I am itching to put it on a 2u SMP rack mount box. Further more the website says "will begin shipping on Oct 22" I ordered it Oct 23, got a confirm right away and would have thought it would have shipped when it was billed (showed up on my statement on the 26). I am very tempted to try the ftp install but I prefer to do the cd install as it takes far less time. I think the powers that be need to look into distrobution of the product. I would vote for a iso download if it was available on a webserver instead of waiting.

Maybe time to direct your query to the SuSE site. I also ordered from the suse.com website on Oct 23, received shipping notice on Oct. 26 and received my copy of SuSE 7.3 on Oct 29. This shipping included an international border crossing. I DID pay extra for overnight shipping service. Due to the border crossing the extra charge for overnight delivery does truly seem to expedite the delivery and is therefore worth the cost.

I got it on the 31st, in the US. When it was shipped, I got a notification from UPS that something weighing 6 lbs (the Pro version is heavy, I guess) from California. Be well, Lissa -- PLAN, v.t.
