It's not looking good so far. Every store I've called so far can't tell when they'll get it in. I ordered on Amazon.com today. The listing said "should ship in 2 to 3 days" only to get an estimate of 8 to 11 days for delivery, even though I had it shipped next day. I would cancel my order, except I see no retailers that look to be carrying it anytime soon. When was it released officially?

When is SuSE 8.2 expected to be available in retail stores in the US?
Thanks, Charles ======================
It's usually best, if you are wanting it quickly, to order direct from the SuSE store! Amazon.com and Linux Central usually pick it up pretty quickly after the initial release date, but there is still a lag in time. The retail outlets, in my experience, start getting it from 2 weeks to a month after the release. Those places have such inventory and ordering procedures, things just don't get done quickly. Plus, you have to remember the free gifts SuSE supplies! Last time a fuzzy chameleon and this time a fuzzy t-shirt! Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, huh? :o) Patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.9.1i --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
