My two cents for product naming/differentiation:
I quite like the naming and the pricing (too low pricing is of no interestn given there is a downloadable version, so make all the manual printed and make them for a fee)
Novell's SuSE Linux Professional (boxed, with DVD, all CDROMs and non-gpl components, printed manuals and a two-year maintenance agreement, priced accordingly, like $199 each, or $895 for a five-pack--professionals have a budget after all, and if it really is that good, then people will pay for it.) Novell's OpenSuSE Community Edition
Here, I think it could be better not set Novell in front. The non-Novell community needs much relative importance (after all the name is all what give it reward), so:
OpenSuSE Community Edition (in short "openSUSE") (downloadable CDs w/out non-gpl
components, which can be installed separately, along with already built-in hooks to non-SuSE repositories like PackMan, and no support agreements. Make it like Ubuntu; a tight, stable version, and many ways to plug in whatever you want.)
and for this version, a great number of DVD should be printed and made available by second hand channels like e-bay, LUG"s, mass dealers (sold OEM at printing cost).
I would specially like e-bay sold for $3+shipment, dvd5 original in a simple cristal box.
