What more can anyone want? I think Suse is the IDEAL distro for most of us as most of us have slow/no internet connection.

NOTE: THE SUSE 9.3 PRO DVD DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL PACKAGES. Now, the DVD contains packages for both 64 bit and 32 bit machines. But the 32 bit package is not complete on the DVD, due to lack of space. The 5 CDs are the 32 bit install, and they are COMPLETE & contain many packages that are not included on the DVD due to lack of space.

My elder brother stays in the US and one of my relatives from US are coming here this month with the 5 CDs of Suse 9.3 Pro which I asked my brother to download it for me. WOOOOOOOOWWW! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUSE!!

By the way, my MOST-HATED distro is Fedora. AAWWWKK!!! No offence intended to Fedora lovers here

Hey that's great as soon as you have them report to me or on this thread. I need it too and so sorry to hear that all contents are not on the DVD while I was requesting a DVD everywhere. BTW, plz make another copy on 5 more CDs and tell me the cost (must be Rs.10-12 per blank CD) and the postage and packing charges... I am dying to have one SuSE 9.3 Pro.. Thnx for your info..

Completely LEGAL!! All Linux distros are released under GNU/GPL license. Freedom to copy, modify and redistribute is available That is why its freedomware

Suse makes its distro freely available for download after a few weeks of the official release. And now that OpenSuse has come, it will be available for free download to everyone as soon as its released. Go to www.opensuse.org for more interesting info on OpenSuse
