Linux is meant to be open source right. Meaning freely available and all that.
Then why am I having to resort to illegal methods to get at the latest version of suse 8.2
I am at the moment downloading The 5 cd pro version off of bittorent because Suse have decided that they will not offer iso's like all the other distro's.
Im sure it is out there on kazaa somewhere but i have decided against downloading it off kazaa because it is 3.5 gigs big and i really do not fancy downloading all that just to find crc errors.
The reason im going to all this trouble is because I went out and bought suse 8.0 and rather liked it. It was slighty less user friendly then red hat which was about my level. I also saw a nice review on the register which kinda clinched it for me.
This is gonna take about 48 hours to download even on dsl.
the torrent (http://10mbit.com/suprnova/apps.htm) if any ones else is interested.
