we've sold a few suse and redhat solutions with ibm data management software

thought about becoming suse partners, in solidarity with our fellow

bit steep though :-((
even ibm don't fleece you for that much (until you discover you can't do
anything without the us$2000 "value" pack :-)))
what do others think?
Does becoming a partner allow you to see 'OEM' versions of SuSE Linux? Just
curious because I also was thinking of soliciting the idea of selling Linux
boxes preloaded with SuSE Linux to a friend who owns a computer store. As long
as SuSE has support for the software, he will support the hardware. But if we
can get SuSE to give us a break on the cost, then that'd help bring the price
down quite a bit.
Just curious if this is what you guys plan on doing as well.
Later,
