About Abhishek
not only that but the fact that there are erm….”premium” versions… quite rediculous…
Free version is fully workable. Premium versions are around 13 Euro (with disk) that means around $ 17.
Personally, I do not think it has anything to offer that cost $ 17. They could have asked for donation instead.
Case of Red Hat Linux or Paid SuSe are different, is not it?
