    So you can download this for free of course, but its a DVD image? meaning those of us without dvd burners (i'm assuming alot of us don't own those) are forced into buying this if we want to try it out?

    Since you can buy a DVD burner for less than the cost of the SuSE DVDs ($89.95), this sounds like a great justification for you to buy a DVD burner.

  2. First? Complete Linux Package? by lousyd · · Score: 0, Troll
    It is the first complete Linux package to harness both the improved Linux kernel 2.6 and the recently enhanced GNOME 2.6 and KDE 3.3 user desktop environments.

    What are they talking about? I've been using those three packages, via my distribution, for at least several months now. What do they mean by "first complete Linux package"?
