Can you explain the differences between the two, and how they differ
from the boxed-set/purchased version, while you're at it?
Also, how does the "EVAL" version fit?
If Novell/Suse actually belive in open source, then there should be just two
versions: one with some closed source added (acroread etc) and one completely
open source. Otherwise the method of delivery and support levels should make
no difference to the version.
Did I understand you correctly: "If Novell/SUSE believe in open source,
they will limit our choice"?
So whether we buy a boxed Suse 10.0 with support or download the CDs/DVDs the
bytes (MD5) should be identical. Clearly the actual difference would be
whether we got the added value services such as dead trees or phone support.
The RPMs are binary identical. So what exactly is your problem?
