Hi all,

I saw that Suse posted a package list for Opensuse. They also boast it
contains over 1,500 packages. Now, correct me if i am wrong but i am
sure my 9.3 contains just under 5,000 packages. I assume this is to do
with licensing restrictions etc.

I also saw that they are promoting the retail version of Suse 10.

So, my question is this. If I download Opensuse and use it instead of
buying Suse 10 retail, what will be the difference? My original
understanding was that Suse retail was dead and Opensuse is taking over
(just like Fedora did over Redhat). Am I better off waiting for the
retail?

Thanks.

Or by just adding the java-inst (or whatever it is gount to be called) to
your instalation source. If you use it from SUSE it will be causing less
problems with some things that might expect things while it is not
there.

Perhaps next time you could base your understanding on fact rather than
fantasy?
