I already downloaded the standard Suse along with many other distros so
I could try them out. Nobody is really shocked or appauled that Suse or
any other distro costs money, we pay for RedHat Enterprise for all of
our servers right now. I commented on the price because I was wanting
to try Suse and wanted to hear about the features that would make that
$90 worth while for me. Especially if Suse will be the distro for all
of our workstations. I would have to turn around and list the same
reasons to my boss if I were to try and convince him of the purchace as
well. Always have to justify the cost.

Why are people talking about $90 for Suse. There are
other distros that also cost, in some cases more then
that. I have heard a lot about how much it costs or
licensing requires you to buy at some point.
I downloaded the iso's, no license agreement found
there and no cost other then my internet connection
fee. I also downloaded the cd boot image so that I
could install via ftp. I have seen no license
agreement there and no cost either.
If you want linux for free, including suse, download
it. If you want the support, then buy it. Buying a
distro also helps to support that distro.
At some point we all should support our favorites
distro either by buying one or donating to it. No one
will work for long for free, it is too hard to put
food on the table that way.

Suse Pro is $90, what is so great about it?

Well there are a few differences that I have
noticed:
1. Only the Pro version gives you a "minimal"
install option. This does
not install XServer, KDE, etc. This is a good
option for a server.
2. Several packages are only included with the Pro
DVD version, such as
courier-imap, etc.
