i just think that professional is better since it has so much
more stuff, less need(if any) to go to 3rd party software, its
everything+kitchen sink+garbage disposal and trash compactor.
if one doesn't need the manuals though, I hear that the "upgrade"
version of suse professional is about the same cost as the
personal version, but has everything(and can be used to install
a fresh system, they don't lock you into an upgrade-only installation)
most of the documentation is available online, but sometimes its fun
(for me) to browse through the books. I've read good things about
suse 8.1, though I think Suse expects me to pay to upgrade from 8.0
to 8.1 which I think is sorta unfair. Perhaps the online updater
will be able to provide a migraiton to 8.1 at some point from 8.0.
