Review: SuSE Linux 9 (NewsForge)
Yes, please let's stop the crappy calcualation:
- You have a flatrate, and you can wait for a few weeks? Than even SuSE
Linux is available for free (ftp-Install, should be available in 3-5
days).
- You do not have a flatrate or can not do an ftp-install? Copy the CDs
from somebody, it is legal.
- You stick to what is offered, do not want to mess around with the
system? Than invest 0 $ once, and then stick to it for 2 years. Then
either do an update (if you did not mess around), or do a fresh install.
During that time, get all updates for free, without registration, if you
want in an automated way.
- You like SUSE, and want to support them, you like to give away manuals
after reading them to make Linux easier for beginners? Then buy every
single SuSE, and spend more than a naked Windows costs per year.
Or do something inbetween.
But do not try to tell me that Linux is as expensive as Windows, because
it is only if you decide to spent the money
Cheers
