You pay for the books or you pay for the expensive ISP for the free
download.
Then you join these lists and keep up almost 1k messages a week. Either
way you pay.
IMHO the dialup I have is enough with my LUG giving me monthly access to
highspeed at the university.
Keeping up with these lists sorting out those problems you cant assist
and hardware you dont have there is a payment in kind for participation
in free support. In all cases we all pay. This year I went cheap and
got the disks only edition. I need the shelf space.
IMHO its best to pay Suse not the dialup service. Its an investment in
our collective future and freedom of choice in computing.

And Mr. Shanahan seems to think that it is a sin to pay money for a
that works. I suppose he d/l's all his Linux vers from the net for nothing. I, on the other hand, have no compunction against sending some
fair price for a good program that works. Or even to send a big company
program programmer a like
Corel or Borland some bucks for a program I need. Linux is NOT free beer. I think most of us know that.
