Perhaps I may be misguided...but this is how I feel. I am a SuSE user, and I
can get the boxed set for £25 postage included. The SuSE distro includes 8G
of software....so I save a fortune on telephone bills,and I also support a
linux company which invests in the Linux Movement. I have never needed the
registered support, but I used to waste more money on Windoze software. So to
cut a long story short....it's worth it.

Brian
