    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?
