Oops - I just chose SuSE  as a random example - I use Fedora myself.
And I think you are right - it is not a good example.  Just had a look
at www.cheeplinux.com, who do sell various distros in the way I was
trying to describe, and they don't sell SuSE.  They do sell Mandrake,
Debian, Fedora and Slackware (and lots of others) so substiture any of
these for SuSE in my example.
