Hiya, anybody. I just received my first-ever SuSE Update box (9.3). Previously (since 5.2) I've always bought the full/new version of each release. This is my first time getting the "Update". Anyway, this one came with the two DVDs and five CDs, and the printed Administration Guide. So, is that it? The only difference between the full version and the update version is the printed User Guide? The price difference hardly seems worth it to Novell. You get all the important stuff, including the bulky and heavy (for shipping) Admin Guide, for just over half the price. Such a deal! Or am I overlooking something?

That's it.

You are not. I trust that Novell computed the costs correctly. Ink-on-paper is just a lot more expensive than stamping out CDs.

The Update version is the same version as the Full version except that you get fewer dead trees in the box, and you get 60 days' installation support instead of 90. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
