Where is your company located (rhetorical) and where is the nearest Novell office to you? I'd be bugging a local sales rep about this since they should be a little closer to the answers than us. Don't know your quantities involved here but maybe they'd even work a deal and round up excess inventory of previous releases to keep your company happy. Usually Amazon.com has previous versions available for quite a long time. Most of the Novell/SUSE employees on these lists are involved with the software _not_ the marketing, packaging, corporate decision making. So whether or not Novell/SUSE would continue to provide 10.2 when 10.4/11.x is out probably can't be answered here. And if you do try my idea, let us know how it goes.
