20. Here are the only prices I'd bother to look at: (from SuSE 9.3 Pro)
CompUSA: $99
BestBuy: $99
NOVELL'S WEB SITE: $99 + SHIPPING (which is a killer, the shipping costs...)

The street prices from when SUSE was its own company were $20-30 less.

Of course, BestBuy is looking like it's going to drop it and I'm not sure what CompUSA is up to. Borders bookstore, which used to carry it religiiously, dropped it long before they dropped the IT Computer Book section...

Doom3 runs under SuSE quite nicely, but it sure as hell gave me problems when going to online games that weren't the standard 4 that came with D3 and required a download; Doom3 just wouldn't download them on Suse. Let's just say I saw additional functionality under Red Hat that I was most appreciative of. (and I wasn't appreciative of Suse's autoload hacks, which I went in to manually disable...)

BTW: For Linux 3d games, use Nivida. Period. ATi's Linux drivers are shite. Always have been. Always will be. For ATi has a longer history of crap windows drivers too.
