who has SuSE 8?

[Susan Macchia]

So, how did you manage to get the upgrade?  While it's listed on SuSE's web
site, when you try and purchase, no such beast.  I also looked at their
distributors (i.e., buy.com, amazon.com, etc) and can't find it...

Any help here would be appreciated.  I posted an email to SuSE to no avail...

TIA

Yes.  I got my upgrade last week.  With a new puppy to care for I've not had
the time I'd like to play with it.  Nonetheless, it installed quite easily
(in a slightly changed manner) on one workstation and I left it starting the
install on my (much slower) firewall this morning.  Yast2 looks a little
different, too.

Everyone complains about the 7 CDs, but I *think* SuSE has done something
with combining RPMs, so if you want to install a normal workstation it only
uses CDs 1 & 2, but if you want to reduce the amount of selections it uses
several more (and less of 1 & 2).  This implies, to me, that they have
combined things to make a single install RPM for a group of things, but if
you only want some of those it requires all the little pieces (on later
CDs).

I haven't had time to test speed, though.
