Found that link at Distro watch and from what I understand they will send you some free stuff to evaluate after you fill out a small questionaire.

I filled it out for Suse 9.1 Pro. See what happens.



FX

me too

lol. i 've seen this one before.

its not reallly free. they are just trial editions.lol.

i mean really, did you actually think they'd send you a ~130 program ( 9.1 ) plus alot of others for free.

I don't care, I dont use suse anymore but like to get cd's and test stuff like the server version.

even though i can get all this stuff from bittorrent anywho.

why not? you can use their ftp discs to download and install it for free

ooo my understanding from what iphitus has done with Novell software on his linux laptop, is that it is free.. At least, groupwise is....i think :S

My school uses Novell....grrr nazi control programs

Likewise here and hell I dunno which idiot had that idea for any ix86/Linux would be perfectly fine.

Definitely, half the school computers have memory leaks at the moment anyway! POS!

and novell has so many evil watching programs like zenworks so they can stop you from playing games, and watch your desktop

well, i filled out the questionnaire to get my free SUSE stuff, and it arrived a few days ago. the package included 3 DVDs,

1. DVD 1A - Enterprise stuff

suse linux enterprise server 8
Nterprise Linux services 1.0
GroupWise 6.5.1
Red Carpet Enterprise Server 2.02
ConsoleOne
Linux services

2. DVD 1B - Suse Linux 8.2 Pro, Ximian Desktop

3. DVD 1C - Suse Linux 9,1 Pro

This is definitely the best way to get a copy of Suse Pro 9.1

Unfortunately, even with daily automated updates there are still quite a few bugs...

Yeah, I also received the "3 cd package"... but they are all dvds... and I have only 2 cd-rom and one cdrw drive.. all the effort for nuthin'. bugger

Artic, I'm sure I would be gald to take them off your hands as I'm sure alot of others will be also.

hmm I'm filled in the questionnaire too, still no sign of a packet, think it will never arrive :(

The offer has ended. I got mine and they are all full editions and not crippled. The only restriction is that you can't transfer them. I have also heard that you can't use them in a production environment.

Counterspy

Yep, they're full editions all right -- but I just can't get DVD3 (Suse 9.1 Pro) to work right. No matter what happens, it goofs up on installation in a dual head environment. the only fix is to pull one of the video cards, which seems like a suboptimal solution to me.

after pulling one of the video boards I've also run into lots of problems with all sorts of unexplainable lockups in Yast2.

IMHO, not ready for prime time.
