246427 2004-06-21 01:42:00 Just came across a slashdot artcle here (slashdot.org) and they report that Distrowatch.com was the first to notice it with this News Article (www.distrowatch.com)

Grab your copy of the 700mb ISO from the SuSE FTP Server (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1-personal-iso/)


Chill.

And if you wait a day or two (at the max, I don't know what the mirroring time
is) you'll be able to grab it from the jetstreamgames realm-able ftp server:

ftp://ftp.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/suse/i386

SuSE looks really nice - I haven't used it since SuSE 8.0 and this was the first Linux distribution that I had used. It is rpm based and has this snazzy feature called YaST, which handles system settings, updating programs etc.

Bit about YaST (www.suse.de)

The latest version looks really polished - See here (www.suse.de). I am not sure how "feature-rich" SuSE personal edition is seeing it has only one installation CD, so I imagine the package list is not huge.

Novell is using SuSE as its distro to replace Windows in corporate environments (and doing a successful job as well!), so that should give you some indication of its ease of use.

You can grab a live-CD for SuSE 9.1 off the JSG server to have a look-see at it.

Besides, any distro which has that really cute green chameleon as a mascot must be good :D
