[NTLUG:Discuss] Novell SuSe DVD's...was Re: O'Reilly Discussion Guidelines

[Will Senn]

L. Wayne,

Did you see something that indicated that it applied directly to the Pro 
install? I don't think that it would make logical sense, since you can 
ftp install Suse 9.1 without cost or restriction (other than bandwidth 
for the download). If you have broadband, ftp install is a great way to 
go - until I got the DVD, that's how I installed SUSE every time.

I have to be honest, that I haven't messed around with any of the other 
DVDs that came in the pack. I intend to try them out, but I can't speak 
to the terms. You will need to ask someone else about them. Oh, just got 
the Summer edition of the DVD set, version 1.1, a couple of weeks ago, 
so apparently it's a subscription of sorts - reminds me of the IBM 
Developerworks packs (god of moderation don't strike me down for getting 
off topic, please).

BTW, DVD readers can be had for $30 bucks or less these days.

Later,

Will
