&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 
&gt; running out to do a 'community' purchase just yet.  I don't believe 
&gt; they are evening shipping quite yet. I'll be getting the upgrade 
&gt; regardless, because I feel I need to support the Linux community, and 
&gt; I can afford to do so.  I'll research the licensing issues a bit more 
&gt; and if I don't see any problems with making the copies, I'll provide 
&gt; the source disks.
&gt;
&gt; I would suggest that those of you who have the funds to purchase a 
&gt; boxed version of linux, regardless of the distro, please do so.  We 
&gt; need to support those vendors who are building these newbie friendly 
&gt; versions.
&gt;
Geoffrey,

I was on their web site yesterday looking at a comparison too. This one 
is for windows vs suse pro. Regarding licenses, correct me if I am wrong 
but on this site:

Under licenses....
