I believe that what SuSE are doing in splitting up the distribution into a personal & professional version is actually a very good thing.
Well, it was a tough decision - thanks for your support :)
It seems that many of the personal users are more concerned about price, and less on service - whilst the profesional user is more concerned about getting the system installed and working as smoothly, and quickly, as possible - ie. service...
I believe that the SuSE distribution prices are still extremely reasonable - especially when compared to MS and Redhat (my goodness - why on earth does RedHat charge so much - I have not actually been that impressed with their distribution - SuSE is far more organised... and complete...)
And I would also like to add, that the price of the SuSE distibution has been _constant_ for more than 4 years now (IIRC), even though we added new packages (until we hit the 6 CD limit) and also improved the documentation with each release.
