can any 1 tell me where i could just download a cop of suse thats safe and reliable

Try:

http://www.suse.com

Gotta love Google.

You cant...Sort of. They wont make ISO images for download. If you have broadband and can get the installer to see the connection, you can do an FTP install... They take some stuff out but it's almost the original. They have live cds for download available. But don't expect to find an ISO like your used to. Might be able to find it on Limewire or somewhere tho...

bit torrent has it all.

xmule too

Lets ignore this and not promote warez as our rules state.. Thanks!

But xmule or bit torent aren't? Wasn't aware... Thanks for the heads up..

If you want the whole CD set, pay for it. If you want to install SuSE without the CD's, do as suggested and download the boot CD image and just do a network (FTP) install.

If Suse is free, but they don't provide an iso, but an ftp install (which at the end will be the very same Suse running), how illegal is it to download an iso from xmule and how illegal is the link that pctech101 suggested selling the CD's?. I've to say, I've bought myself a good number of Linux distributions as Mandrake 9.2 Discovery, Slackware 9.1 + Linux Essentials, Redhat 9.0, Libranet 2.8 and the only one I've no interested in purchasing is Suse for making the installation more complicated then it should be then providing an iso. Maybe they win some customers forcing them to buy the CD's, but they lose others like me...

just a thought

The SuSE CD's include non-free software, which makes copying them off of others (by whatever means - direct copy, p2p piracy and so on) an act of piracy. The FTP mirrors do not contain non-free software, or at least not software which requires a license to use it, and there are tutorials online for making your own bootable DVD or CD-ROM disc sets from the FTP mirrors.

Hi!

I'd really like to FTP install SUSE 9.0 or 9.1, but at home I have only an ISDN connection, so that's not an option.
Where I work I can download the whole 7 gigz in a jiffy, but how can I install the downloaded stuff at home? (I have no other computer in my home network, so I cannot run an FTP server in the LAN, tricking the suse installer)
