Hi all. I'm interested to know whether/why the Update version of SuSE is available through resellers. I try to buy my Linux distros through the Linux Emporium (ObPlug: www.linuxemporium.co.uk). However, whenever I've asked, they don't supply SuSE Pro Update, only the full SuSE Professional. The explanation given is always "SuSE's distributor won't sell us the update version, you have to order it direct from SuSE". I've asked this question before, and the answer I got was along the lines of "that's rubbish, other resellers sell the update version". So, since I'm going to buy 8.0, I asked them again. This time, they specifically asked SuSE's distributor on Tuesday whether they could get the update version. Apparently, the reply from SuSE's distributor was that Update is "Not available to resellers". The guy running LE is pretty well respected, and I'd be very surprised if he were taking us for a ride.

If not, why not? -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England
