Robert, you can download it as SuSE believes in the tru meaning of Open
Source, and free. Of course you will not have the support or some minor
extra packages you would get if store bought. You can download from any of
the mirrors listed at this link, on or after 10/15....

> "The OS, based on SuSE's Linux kernel 2.4.21, will ship in three flavours:
> Personal, Professional and Professional for AMD64. Each has been coded to
> incorporate some forthcoming 2.6 kernel features - including improved
> scheduling, Linux sound architecture and better support for power
management.
> For test purposes the Linux firm has added a full version of the 2.6
kernel,

> "For those of us who have been driven to the dark depths of despair by
many
> Linux distros "support" for laptop WinModems, SuSE promises that its OS
will
