&gt; 
&gt; To what you get from M$ or even other Linux vendors, it's quite the deal.
&gt; 
&gt; So, I guess I'm torn on this issue, but I'll say this, don't go running 
&gt; out to do a 'community' purchase just yet.  I don't believe they are 
&gt; evening shipping quite yet. I'll be getting the upgrade regardless, 
&gt; because I feel I need to support the Linux community, and I can afford 
&gt; to do so.  I'll research the licensing issues a bit more and if I don't 
&gt; see any problems with making the copies, I'll provide the source disks.
&gt; 
&gt; I would suggest that those of you who have the funds to purchase a boxed 
&gt; version of linux, regardless of the distro, please do so.  We need to 
&gt; support those vendors who are building these newbie friendly versions.
