[ale] Suse Community Purchase - Update

[Brian Chase]

I can tell you from my perspective, the main reason I don't use SUSE is 
because it doesn't offer ISO's, now I've discovered that Mandrake is 
following suit, limiting you to rpm repositories and bittorrent.  I 
don't really care to open up my router with all those bittorrent ports, 
it seems to be a gaping hole in security.
