Hi Harryc,
thanks for replying.
But I want the Professional version.
Why SUSE don't have a link to it like Mandrake or Slackware ?

Let be more specific.
I want the Professional version in ISO format.
How can I get it ?

You have to buy it directly from Novell or a third party vendor. It is not free to download.

Yes you can get SuSE 9.1 Professional. Here:

But ... it is not free.

Because it comes with software that is not under free software license or GPL.

This seems to be a very popular issue, and not a lot of people know how to do this. I just found out the other day on another forum. Here is a different thread where I posted instructions on how to do this:
