i think it's the same thing than other distros, and enterprise clients? what? comes with StarOffice or OpenOffice instaled? wOOOOT

enterprise clients? ok you get some pack from the internet compile an old kernel (but still working) like the 2.4.19, and sell it for $598? what the heck, i'm sure if you get StarOffice and all the rest of the packpages (paying offcourse) for separatly and get a respectable Distro, you can do a better buss than spending $598...

Enterprises make changes to cheaper OS because they want to low they costs the most...

and i don't speak only for SuSe, i think RedHat do the same thing and make you pay a lot more over the "real price" of the things

Just my opinion... Thx

pd: my english is not the best, so maybe it's get a little confusing in the paragraphs, but well i am trying to improve it

Hhmmm

The SuSE Linux Desktop is available in sets of 5, for $499, and includes
one-year maintenance agreements, as well as licenses for the enclosed third-party software -- CrossOver Office, Agfa fonts and Sun Microsystems Star Office. The "Installation kit" -- which includes the software, is available for a one-time price of $99 for unlimited installations.

$499+$99

Actually it's a set of 5 for $500. So each is $100 no? If yes, well not bad.


Off topic: nakkaya = rich kid ;-)
