Howdy Guys I've always wanted to have a look at SuSE but don't have too much time to frig around installing it etc so the Live CD version looks like the ideal plaything. Anyone got a copy of this? I'd rather not give Telecom more money than it deserves and on business ADSL they really ask us to bend over. So if someone is willing to send me a copy I would be most appreciative.

I'm pulling the one CD live and installable version as we speak, should be here tomorrow. If you dont get a closer one, I can burn and post tomorrow. Oliver Jones wrote:

We have SuSE 9.1 Professional version (both 32bit and 64bit) on NFS export to the University of Waikato campus network. Should someone like to copy that and has university network access I will consider advising such a person of the NFS mount information on direct application to me. (I am not prepared to give that information out in a public forum). Sorry, we will not make it available off campus (even by ftp) since we have to pay for all transmissions to and from campus. Michael.
Thanks, But I'm just helping oliver out, the live cd is on the jetstream games server so its a nz free download for me. sadly its only 128 so its slow, and something went weird last night. I'm not too impressed by SUSE personally, as I find its multimedia support very disappointing, but I can see that in many areas that could be an advantage. Michael Cree wrote:

Yeah, I think that's how we got it!
I'm not too impressed by SUSE personally, as I find its multimedia support very disappointing, but I can see that in many areas that could be an advantage.
I have never really considered the multimedia support. We use it for other reasons. SuSE has a lot of configuration stuff with a gui interface (yast) that overlays the usual Unix adminstration scripts, thus making the installation and much of the basic administration easy via the windowing interface. For a non-savvy unix person it is great, but to be frankly honest, for real work and server administration it is just a pain in the arse. We still wonder whether we should have gone with a more primitive distribution that doesn't have so much obstructive guff superimposed over the standard unix configuration scripts. Michael.
Its one of the reasons I fell in love with CollegeLinux, its slackware with some added guis for setup. But when it all turns to custard all the slackware files are right there, and its VI all the way home. As for the multimedia, its just something I do a lot of, so playing video and audio as well as DVD's are issues for me. Another CL benefit for me. But I am doing a series of installs and reviews on a number of distros right now, and at the end of each install I will do a boot up as a stopwatch timed run, as well as how long it takes to open a large open office spreadsheet from the desktop, and see if I can detect any speed difference in the distros. I plan to use this as a sort of easy to compare distro list to help new users get a distro hat will make a good home distro. so It will need these things considered. I'm sure I'll upset some, but if the reviews are honest and with no barrow to push, and the test results can be easily duplicated, then the benefits to everyone could be obvious. Naturally I'll be testing based on the sort of install a standard user would type ino the setup, and from what I understand Yast would come out well in such a test. but we will see.

I might try it again, but its never worked for me, do I need to register at jetstream games first maybe ? Craig Box wrote:
