Ok, now this is really wierd and disturbing...
I just received a second reply from Digital River, and it conflicts with the first "backorder" excuse.
This is correct. It is no longer important to generate revenue with openSUSE sales.
openSUSE is however and will stay our flagship homeuser product, it will not go away when no boxes are sold.
The goal is mainly a presence in the desktop and homeuser market, and also a trying bed for the latest and greatest new technologies.
So you can feel good when downloading and installing it, you are welcome.
(And I am the guy who gives you 2 years of security updates for it, even if you just download it.)
Ciao, Marcus Marcus, I really appreciate the effort you et al have put forth in all

The question wasn't whether to download or buy...I've nearly every boxed set since 6.2, because I'm on a modem here, no dsl, cable, or satellite. I'm looking at 10 boxes on the shelf, and with the exception of 10.1, every one was a good deal for me, and I felt like a small contributor.
From responses on this forum, it appears the 10.2 deliveries are happening overseas...but not here in the US.
