Glad to hear someone else feels the same way! It seems especially critical for SuSE to realize the need for this since broadband is becoming increasingly popular, and those of us who don't need $50 added to the price tag for books and support will be more likely to download in the future _unless_ there is a cheaper version with all of the power.
I don't particularly care whether the price is $50 or $10. But the
manual as it stands is starting to get in my way. What I _need_,
is the installation media, and a good specification of what they've
done since the last release. I don't want to have to read a manual
with 95% known information to find that.
Given a choice of a $50 edition with a book and a $10 edition with
that information sheet, I'd buy the latter. Heck, I'd buy the latter
if the prices were swapped, even. Anything to not have to browse
that book.
