I've probably been around longer than you. Yes, we know that suse started offering an enterprise version IIRC during the suse 7 days. However, they also continued to offer the reasonably priced shrink wrapped suse versions, with support and documentation, and many businesses used suse linux, just as many businesses used redhat before redhat dumped their shrinkwrap userbase. I was one of the those who moved from redhat to suse after the redhat 9 -> fedora debacle. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
