Subject: Re: Novell to acquire SUSE
Yes, I didn't see the other articles that explained what was happening
with the Workstation line. I just assumed that they would keep the
workstation version active - apparently they are, but it now costs
$179+.
What's with all these expensive Linux distros now? Go look at prices for
a workstation version of SUSE or Mandrake or RedHat ... didn't they used
to say what MS charged was ridiculous? Now they're right alongside MS
price-wise. Even though RedHat adds support it's pretty limited, it's a
few months of installation support at best unless you want to break
$1000.
Guess it's time to check out some of the other distributions ... I've
heard good things about Slackware and I guess Debian is still free.
