Upgrading to SuSE 8.0

[Mark R. Myers]

If you want, I'll sell you my copy of SuSE 8.0 Personal for $20. It 
will not install on the PC that I bought it for. It works great (I 
installed it on a VNC machine just to make sure that it did indeed 
work). The books are great. Sorry, there are no stickers.
