I got them to send me the CD's for free because we're doing a redhat vs
SuSE comparison (don't ask why) to determine who we go with and with that,
who gets support contract $$$.
I can see if I can beg any assistance from them using the same logic...

If you got the CDs from SuSE for the $500, then you have a 30 day
maintenance agreement. If you're trying to do this with the downloaded
betas, you're on your own. Same with RH.
The current Debian 3.x release has all the stable maintenance available
already applied, but that's not what you were asking.
