Ugh - direct replied again instead of to the list. Sorry for the direct reply James.
No probs - I do it all the time myself ;)
Fair enough and understood, but honestly if I hadn't bought a copy of 8.1 off of ebay I never would have tried SuSE in the first place. Now that I have, I'll likely purchase 8.2 down the road (although 8.1 with updated xf86 and kde packages works good for me here). I prefer the old "try before you buy" method. It gives me the opportunity to try out a product without locking myself into an investment. Heck, I would have been pretty annoyed if I ever paid for Mandrake. (sorry, I just like to bash Mandrake since I had such a bad time with the distro)
By all means try before you buy, but do it through the legal means - do an FTP install, get hold of the live evaluation CD, or get a gratis CD set burnt by someone.
