Someone has way too much time on their hands:

Sweet...agreed, but sweet nonetheless.

I'm still looking for the German release date (please be around the seventh of April, please, please, please!!!!).

Realease date in Germany is the 22th, too. And actually you'll be better off to purchase it in the States as the prices in Germany are €49.95 and €79.95 for personal and professional, respectively which at the current exchange rate is more than you'd pay in the U.S. Apart from that you might want to have the English manuals

SuSE is the first distributor to offer a game specially designed for kids: Tuxtype, a game with educational value.

Not true. Tuxtype among other fun educational games are part of debian-jr for, what... 6 months?

Well, that stinks. *Since I live in Turkey and I will be in Germany up until roughly the 15th or so, I would prefer buying in Germany. *Oh, well. *That's ok. *I'll wait and then order it. *Or, I'll wait until Mandy 8.2 comes out and just buy it. *Who knows.

Cost really isn't an issue, since the shipping and handling cost will jack the price up until it is roughly on par with the Euro price. Plus, I would have it in my hot little mitts...you can't put a price on possessing the product, can you?

Thanks for the info, demian. *Cheers.

Well actually I might have been wrong with the release date. suse.de states it'll be availble "in the middle of April" so you might be lucky.

...you can't put a price on possessing the product, can you?

How bout you send me a money order of the product price and I'll go and buy it and ship it to you for free?
