    A Steal!!

    I know some of you may turn your noses up at linux, and indeed to a degree I do as well (though since I got red hat recently i've changed my mind a bit) but I just got a great deal!!

    The entire SuSE linux 7.0 for a whopping $2.00!!! Yes the decimal is in the right place, two dollars it comes with three CDs three manuels, some fassion fab stickers and a bling bling linux panguin button to wear, what more could one ask for

    Any way I'm sorta excited, I guess we'll see just how good it is when it is put to actual use...

      Just to remind you, 8.1 is the newest SuSE AFAIK. Still a great deal, of course

          Well there are two nice things about this deal,

          First the upgrade is downloadable, sans charge
          and
          Second even if it turns out to be complete crap, it was still only $2.00!

              I think you'll like Suse - I've owned a few versions and was happy with all of them. The shame about Linux is the lack of mainstream game support -so I've alway dual booted with it.
              Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

                  Not just games, "mainstream support" in general...

                      Yeah - although OpenOffice is a HUGE step forward, IMHO. And there's even a preview Opera 7 for it

                          No for SuSE, you need to buy upgrades.
                          And newest is 8.2 now.

                          But where do you buy that?
                          It is a good deal!!

                              Oh really I didn't know you had to buy upgrades for SuSE, that sucks...maybe if i look around *cough*direct*cough*connect*cough* I can find 'em


                              Yeah - although OpenOffice is a HUGE step forward, IMHO
                              I totaly agree, they really did nice job on this piece of software

                                      suse updates/upgrades is free to download but you do not get
                                      support for the upgrades if u dont purchase them, however, u could always search the suse support base for solutions if u encounter any problems
