One of the reasons I got away from Microsoft was so that I would not have to play games with EULAs. If I have to go into Best Buy and buy SuSE 8.0 just so I can read the license and decide I do not want it, a very large hassle would result. (Despite the claims in the licenses, returning software if you do not agree to the terms is very difficult.) > Be that as it may, I would strongly encourage those that can, to pay real > money for SuSE's products.

SuSE has an excellent product, and remains the number one commercial Linux distribution outside the USA. They are probably one of the strongest "Open Source companies" in the world. If SuSE dies due to attrition (as opposed to competition), that is a bad sign for the "Open Source business model". -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
