It's only $30 bucks for the personal edition, and if you want the some of
the packages that aren't included with that (but are with the Profession
edition) you can download them off the ftp site.  Yeah, that's a pain.  But 
other than that it's also a good distro.  Easily worth it (though it does 
suck that you have to download the mod_php4 rpm to play with PHP - it's not 
in Personal edition).

My big gripe - Ximian doesn't have their GNOME distro for SuSE 7.1 yet,
but it is availibe for SuSE 6.3-7.0.  What's up with that??
