I bought 9.1 Pro 3 weeks before 9.2 came out.
It seems that they delay the downloadable ISO's.
So you can purchase the retailBOX and play *before* sometimes several *weeks* before the downloadable ISO's show up.
That's how it seems to me.
Though I sit here with my 6.2-BOX edition on the shelf next to me, my 7.2 BOX-edition on the shelf next to me. My 9.0 live eval placed back into its jewel case, my 6 CD (burn-copy) 9.2 professional - resting quietly in the nylon flip-case. AND my 9.1 FTP 8cm bootable CD in its jewel case next to my monitor.
All to never be installed on my anymore.
since I need; XineDVD to play LOTR, and streaming media plugins for firefox without having to re-engineer the base-install; I've also grown to like *compile-from-source*
much better than rpm or apt or yast or dpkg.
I have thus firmly landed on arch-wombat.
gave gentoo 3 tries, but dont like wasting 72/12/8 hours on an install just to reach kernel panic
