Suse Linux 10.0

[GoodHeart]

FWIW- I recd. this notice from SUSE this past week. Given how good 9.3 was I can imagine 10.0 will be a spectacular desktop replacement option.

Curious too if anyone in BKK already has this release. And, if so, is it available for distribution yet?

Hello Goodheart,

Here a Torrent link to download Suse Linux 10.0 (Official release and fully legal download)

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...i386-GM.torrent

why pay for a linux distrib? It will be a shame , and maybe a bit against the concept of free/GNU world.

Why Suze? Why not Mandrake (buy french ) , or better if you really need a professional distrib, slackware ....

[GoodHeart]

Richard- Thank you! I'll look into it...

Why SuSe? I'm very fond of them, that's why. I was very impressed with 9.3 and like the way they present their flavor. I suspect 10.0 will be an outstanding issue.

[Richard-BKK]

Why Suse…why pay….First Suse is also free, only if you need extended support, you need to pay a little.

Why not Mandrake, will Mandrake is now Mandriva (which is less French then you hope), also Suse has one of the biggest software companies supporting it. Technical is Suse better for now-a-days hardware.

Official release of Mandriva 2005 uses Kernel 2.6.11, Gnome 2.8.1 or KDE 3.3.2 and has no support for Thai language. Suse 10.0 uses Kernel 2.6.13, Gnome 2.12 or KDE 3.4.2 and has out of the box Adobe Acrobat, Macromedia Flash player, Video and Audio playback, BitTorrent Client and OpenOffice 2.0 (which can really compete with MS Office 2003)……still I forget probably 1000 things more which Suse has out of the box which Mandriva doesn’t have.

But I belief that Mandriva is a pretty good distribution, only a bit slow in development…..Out off the box you hardly can install it on any newer hardware….

Mandriva Linux 2006 has been released, the ISO images of Mandriva Linux 2006 are 'currently' only available to Mandriva club members.

Membership cost start from 66 US$ (60 Euro) for standard one year member up to US$ 1320 (1200 Euro) for Platinum Member per year.

Maybe the software is free, you only need to pay to get it.....
