I agree with you. But, my point is that if I can not buy the product without jumping through hoops, why should I think that I'll get good services if and when I get it. As far as getting the updates and not support, why not just buy a new release of the distribution every now and then when needed. All I want is to learn more about the operating system and keep myself skills up to date.

With the answers I have ben getting about the SuSE side of things today I wonder what you get for $15K. If their service is as good as their sales I don't think I want it. I think I'm getting to old for this business..;-( What ever happened to service?
Getting old with a lot less patience.... Dave
I, too, am getting within eyesight of retirement, Dave. However, I believe that we have to pay for the fixes and downloads from the distributions we choose, until our staffs build their skill levels to be able to bolt together a working Linux instance from freely available materials. When that day comes, and I hope to be here when it does, open source will have arrived at our shop to the tune of popping corks and cheers galore. Oh, yeah. Pizza, too. (Big spender, huh?)
