InfoMagic did the same thing...it was rather dissapointing. Earlier this year when I first decided to leave redhat and try debian I also ordered th enewest LDR from Infomagic and noticed SuSE on a CD and Debian not. I think this is more because 2.0 is still unstable and the latest "Stable" debian is in many way sexactly the same as their releace of the CD back in August. I hope that when we get 2.0 releaced they we re-include it (certainly I can't fault them with using SuSE instead of Debian in their january releace..I would have probaly done the same thing if I was them) In any case I think I will still subscribe to the InfoMagic LDR because of the Sunsite archives et al. (tho I supose I could get off my lazy ass and use the network at work to download files and image the CDs myself...but then again..it is a PITA to do (fun trying to download 650 MB of files and then make an ISO image when you only have 700 MB of total free disk space) -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth" -- Thomas Edison
