SysOps

depends greatly on what your using it for. SLES (suse server) is worth the extra cost if you need to have a 99.999% yearly minimal uptime. (it makes the upper management happy to have the support, even though Open Suse works just as well ). Also i can see paying for a specially hardened Linux like Adonis DNS... (ROCK HARD) But if you are just running a Linux as a home desktop then i agree, just download them for free... down with best buy...... Dont Know CRC from IRC
