No, I only asked where I could obtain the 7.2 upgrade version which is $49.99
The professional workstation version is $69.99 and is the same as the upgrade
but contains four books of documentation. I ended up buying that version to
get the updated manuals, which are very well written. I prefer to buy the
distributions so that I have clean ISOs and documentation.
You can download the distro rpms, but they do not make the ISOs available for
download.
I endorse SuSE for desktop, laptop, and workstation. I am very satisfied
with it and that means something as I have tough standards for products and
services. There were only a couple very minor bugs I had to clean up with
this version.
