Unfortunately, SuSE has headed to the "installable images only available
when you buy a boxed set" approach.

On the one hand, this may be partly the result of having _SO_ much stuff
that they pretty much need to release DVDs, CD-ROMs being too small to
cope with it.  On the other hand, it looks like you'll not be seeing
LinuxCentral SuSE 7.1 CDs any time soon.

"Evil" though the GCC 2.96 issue may be, it looks as though RHAT and
Mandrake may be the only RPM-based choices, with Debian remaining the
"definitely staying libre" option.
