Yea, i'm using SUSE because i'm a suser but certainly not a noveller. Any way is a little late to change the base distro right know, the fact that suse wasn't a free distribution not even cross my mine until know. What about if SUSE is given for free ( like in beer ), i mean every store will have all the oferts with to choices: 1. with SUSE, Wikipedia ( in a cd ) and a internet educational course. 2. with out SUSE, etc That for exact same prizes, so thats way we are given SUSE like a gift for no money back and in fact that's true. Can i do that ?? What SUSE people think about it ?? -- Marcel Mourguiart
