This is from SuSE.com. I would expect that Linux Central or someone like that who will ship to Canada would be cheaper. Comparing to a copy of Redhat 7.1 deluxe that I bought locally a couple of months ago at C$140, I consider the SuSE to be a better product (especially the manuals) and worth the extra bucks.

Ordered on Tuesday Oct 23; received shipping notification on Friday Oct 26; SuSE 7.3 received and in my possession on Monday Oct 29. That is received in Calgary, Canada, so it managed to safely cross the border. If I have received my copy then other SuSE users in the states should be receiving their copies at this time as well. Unfortunately I will not have time to install it until the upcoming weekend. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?

It's paying more to have a company ship me something at bulk rates and charge me 2 times as much as it would cost me to ship it myself that burns me off. Myles, if you pay 'em at the end of the month they don't charge interest. ;) -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Am I the only one who thinks that this business model of shipping distros via mail is getting rather outdated? Burning your own cds seems so much more convenient (saves lots of shipping time) and a lot cheaper when shipping costs are cut out. Of course if you're were desperate for printed documentation or something stuff like that could be shippable.. but for the rest why not just burn your own cds. I'm thinking of a payment method sorta along the lines of Mandrake's donations page... but this time nonoptional and with a charge per gigabyte of data downloaded from suse's ftp servers or something buy an ftp account and transfer quota instead of paying for a nice box.
