[TriLUG] No books for SuSE

[Lee Fickenscher]

Well, it's hard to tell from the web site at:
http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/i386/new_features.html
but it seems that both 8.1 personal and professional should come with
printed documentation. But I certainly couldn't swear to that. I think
the reason there is so little available for Suse is 1) Their included
documentation is really good on its own, and 2) RedHat pretty much owns
the US market (and you certainly are in RedHat's back yard :-)   )
Good Luck,
Lee
