[ale] SuSE 9.0 has arrived (by ups)

[Dow Hurst]

I've read the changes and the best part is the backported patching and 
updated apps. All the pre-emptive and IDE patches are there.  SUSE has 
always been good for setting up servers using the Professional version.  
That hasn't changed.  The personal edition is really limited to a 
desktop environment.  You can have the 64 bit kernel with 9.0.  They 
already have some patches available for 9.0 so problems stuck in the box 
are getting fixed.  Sounded like a worthwhile purchase for anyone 
wanting to go with SUSE,  The Professional update package is pretty 
cheap and you only get one of the manuals.  As soon as I get some money, 
I'll acquire that package.  I've gone and spent way too much outfitting 
my Zaurus SL5600 to afford anything right now. :-)
