I have decided to actually buy the boxed version when 10.3 comes out. I have't actually bought one since 9.3 but I got excited when SLED 10 came out. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when it fried my laptop (Compaq NX6325 fan issues), couldn't get wireless working (without hacking it with ndiswrapper), and still had no codec support, even though it was supposed to be the corporate offering.

With the disappointment with their enterprise solution, I have decided to go back to the OpenSuSE distros and support them with my wallet. Since I've been using 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 beta downloads, I want to buy this one before they add KDE4 and show my support for the Open folks...And I just love having the big sexy manuals on my shelf at work as conversational pieces!!!

Anyone else considering doing so?
