I have SuSE8.2 Professional.
When the time comes, what does one have to do in order to upgrade to SuSE 9.X? Am I required to go shopping for a full version again?
They sell a "upgrade" version, which is the professional version without the documentation. I think it was $40(?) or basically the same as the personal. It's available through the online SuSE store.
Do i purchase a Patch? Can I just download whatever I need seemlessly and continue on with my existence?
Don't know. Do you want to risk it? Since it may be a renamed 8.3 you might be able to get away with it. IMHO starting fresh seems to be the best way to go.
What happens if I don't want to upgrade for an additional 2-4 years?
There's still people running 7.3 and earlier. You'll just be behind :-) -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
