Suse Desktop not available anymore?


So, I go to suse.com to download the cd image for suse desktop and all I see is Novell... all over the place, Novell! Is Suse still available for the home user? Is it not going to be supported anymore? Maybe I should choose a different distro
Thanks!

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2...stallation.iso

Hmmm... is that it? 9.2?

And is this 9.1?
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1...rsonal-x86.iso

I'm still concerned about the support (ie. if packages and stuff will still be available). I've been running 9.1 for a while now... should I reinstall that or go for 9.2?
Thanks!

Novell's new SuSE page is a little confusing, but it is still there.

I don't know what the mini-installation.iso is. If you want to install 9.2 ftp version, then just hold off a little bit. Last I saw it was projected to be available mid January.

You can currently get 9.1 personal iso, or professional ftp version boot.iso from the official mirrors:

P.S. The personal ISO is probably the easier way to go. The professional ftp install is not hard, but you must know what module your network card requires.

You can later go to YaST-> Software-> Change Source of Installation, and add one of the ftp servers as a source for packages. This should give you access to the packages that professional ftp has that personal does not (there are some that professional retail has that the ftp does not, but they are not free software anyway).
