The $34 subscription sounds great until you realize that the street price
(at least at the bookstore where I bought mine-- & they're not known for
discounting) is $40. At that price, you might as well get the updated manual.
Judging from how easy it is to upgrade the individual components, I suspect
that I'll not buy to many full distributions. Or, maybe I'll do one per
year just so I can keep current with all of the peripheral packages that I
don't directly use (but the system does) and the larger packages that I may
use but not enough to justify downloading the upgrades.
On the other hand, If I could get an official, but sans support, upgrade
for ~$20 (as I could from Slackware-- 4 cds, no manual.), I'd almost
certainly buy every new upgrade they released.
