what is the big deal here??? you seem to expect perfection from SuSE - they don't have control over EVERY single box set. If they did, they would have a warehouse for burning and pressing packages themselves. which they don't. Usually companies out source the production and packaging of their final product.
Duu you really think so. This is actually the first time I have had problems. I if I ever had to ask for disk I never had a problem. And when was the last time you were there. In anchorage I assume. Hell I was there this evening, and I saw no disks....
Unfortunately, shit happens. go back to compusa and exchange it.. they have the receipt on file and will not harass you for an exchange, even though it was purchased with a company credit card. Trust me, I know.. I've purchased several things w/ my company's credit card that I had to return. It would probably be much faster than waiting for SuSE to ship you another copy.
Ya that's right shit happens
btw.. I was at a compusa a few days ago and they had a huge stock of 7.0 and even a display rack full of SuSE personal and professional. Or even better, have your company get a real vendor and not a weekly visit to crappie compusa.
That's right so was I that's when I purchased it. It was the last one. Ok real vendor, Ak. Comp. Brokers Doesn't carry it lets see Pc LANd doesn't carry it. And if you mail order you'll pay for the shipping. Get real dude this is alaska and not Calif.
SuSE continues to produce an excellent product for a very fair price. I commend and thank everyone at SuSE for all their hard work to make this distro happen. Lighten up, it could be worse, you could have to pay twice for your o/s; like M$ is making companies do who have purchased their winblows product with a new PC. ...and all you get is a blue screen.

Well I'll agfree there SuSE does have a excellent product. But there is always a first tiome for everythink. No I will not lighten up, besides I deal with routers and unix all day. If I had the same problem with Solaris and requested a replacement disk there would be no problem....

We produce so many boxsets that there are bound to be a few bad CD's in the bunch because all can not be tested. This is no excuse to be given. If you project youselves a company offering a quality product and support this attitude is indeed bad.

So basicly what your telling me is I am screwed. I purchased the Package with a Company Credit Card. Which now almost makes it impossible for me to return the product. It was also the last copy they had. In the past you folks have sent out replacement disk when asked. So now since you have gotten so big with the suse name you are changing your policy and not sending out replacement disks yes....I have used suse since it was first introduced and this is the First time every I have gotten this type of attitude. Ususally it's a friendly reply, we will send out replacement disk. All of the other Vendors woule do the same, but I guess SuSE would do it anymore......I hate red hat, slackware. Like FreeBSD. And Mandrake I have tested and its ok. But the remains that I like SuSE. Then you raise the cost and add the professional series which is the same as 6.4 for $49.95 (or $29.95). Sounds like we are starting to get a little Greedy here people. And all I wanted was 2 Disks replaced.....

Dear SuSE Linux User,
Because we don't keep stock in house my best suggestion would be to return the box to where you purchased it from for a new one. They most likely wouldn't give you your money back, but they should be willing to exchange the box for a different one. We produce so many boxsets that there are bound to be a few bad CD's in the bunch because all can not be tested. I apologize for the trouble and hope you make out better with a new set.
