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 if any ones else is interested.

nope they do not offer iso's for suse so it will not be there.
they do offer a live evaluation there but it is not permanent at the moment. so it kinda sucks alot.
They will sort it out soon to be the full installer but not until this distro is old enough to be outdated almost.
