SuSE on ebay

Postby Mr. Rogers » Wed Mar 10, 2004 7:16 pm

are those versions of SuSE Linux on ebay the same things as what you would get if your bought it from the company, or are they just burned on someone's computer?

I'm guessing that it's just like anything else you'd get on Ebay, some are legitimate and some are not. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to tell which is which (speaking generally of items on Ebay)...-_-;;

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I wouldn't buy on ebay.. you might just be buying downloaded ISOs.

You can download the free version here anyway:

Yeah. I'd recommend staying away from the boxed sets. They're a bit pricey usually, and if you need the support, you may not want to be installing linux in the first place...
