Looks interesting but who in their right mind would pay for a Linux distro?

People who when they have installation problems can get professional paid help. People who want to be able to run Microsoft Office on Linux or access NTFS stuff by default. People who want multimedia support for many codecs and such out of the box.

That sort of thing.

Xactly. And I would pay for a linux distro myself. I like the professionality of official pressed discs. Gives a better impression when I'm installing it on other people's pcs.

I would've actually payed for Suse 10.1 if I didn't have to fix everything after a default install.. Suse 10.0 is something I would pay for. Now that was a fine product.

very cool! Although i'm suprised they advertise NTFS write support...isn't that still problematic, especially with stuff like encryption? If it wasn't then maybe I'll enable it on my pc (although when I thikn about it...I never had to install ntfs support in Ubuntu...I was always able to read the wndows drive in dapper)
