Title: OpenSUSE is now Open
Post by ReeBop on Aug 10^th, 2005, 8:03pm

What used to be a Linux favorite of mine, SUSE Linux, is now freely available for download.

http://www.opensuse.org

I stopped using SUSE about 5 years ago due to 2 reasons: The documentation for setting up network printing was nearly nonexistant and incorrect and that freely available CDROM images were removed from their download. I bought boxes of SUSE regularly, but 2 boxes per year with the cost going higher and higher made me cut back. I would eventually get around the print problem when I went 100 percent RedHat in my ISP network. I did like the fact that other parts of the documentation were good and that all my devices would work straight away. The SAX video card tool I felt was revolutionary. I will be setting up a SUSE box soon....probably erasing the PCLinuxOS system I created before (ever talk to their community? what a bunch of snots) and install a nice SUSE system there. Funny, on my main work monitor, I still have the SUSE Linux sticker that was free inside a SUSE Linux box in 2000.

Huzzah to Novell and SUSE!
