free Linux kit from Novell SuSe

**tdinc** · July 5th, 2004

Right now, courtesy of Novell, you get the following FREE:

- SUSE LINUX Standard Server 8.0 (ISO Installation Images)
- SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional (Bootable Installation DVD)
- Ximian Desktop 2.0 Evaluation (ISO Image)
- Ximian Red Carpet 2.0.2 Evaluation (ISO Image)
- Novell Linux Services 1.0 (ISO Image & NLS Companion CD)
- Novell GroupWise for Linux 6.5.1 - Server, Client & Messenger
- and more...

This is an unbelievable deal, and wont last long (I sound like a freaken commercial, but it's true). Serously though, I'm a huge SUSE fan and it's worth checking out.

PS - Happy 4th everyone!

Hiya guys. This looks cool. I hope they ship to the UK. Does anyone know if they do, is it free shipping? I thought I read some were they come as DVD

. Yer I don't have a DVD drive yet. Anyway I can get em as CD's?

**Glaanieboy** · July 5th, 2004

As I understand, there is (are) a DVD(s) filled with ISO's, so just maybe. WHy not get a DVD drive? They are so cheap these days.

**sboulema** · July 5th, 2004

Just ordered

desie · July 5th, 2004

It's not that easy to get a dvd drive when you have no job and there are no jobs about

.

So you say the DVD's have ISO's? To burn on to CDR

. Maybe I could run them through my Dad's laptop, that has a DVD Drive.

apu95 · July 5th, 2004

desie · July 5th, 2004
