Should i get professional or standard? SuSE does have a free install, you can make a floppy to do an install over the net. it is on thir site. it rarely (i got it to fully load once in 6 tries) works, but you can try it. and after all the pain in the download, when you find you have Mandrake without as nice of controls, and a less able hardware detection, we will be here. ;-) -- "Psychic Convention.
