[NTLUG:Discuss] Free SUSE stuff

[Chris Cox]

Well, it appears that Novell took down the link at:
http://www.novell.com/community/linux/order.php?sourceid=uscin

is not as fully operational as it once was.  The site now
tells you that you can be notified of when the service will
be back up again.

But.... SUSE 9.1 personal is now available in ISO form ... well
at least disk 1 is... I'd use a mirror but the "official"
site is: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1-personal-iso/

In theory, you can go from personal to professional via
just rpm's... might be able to trick yast out as well with
a yast install of some kind... I'm sure there are instructions
on the web about how to do this kind of thing.

Novell still reminds me a very nice stupid person.

I would hate to see Novell move in the direction of Red Hat, but
apparently it's been very successful for Red Hat... so....


Regards,
Chris
