Hey. I reformatted my computer to clean up the XP partition, and did the suse partition too.

Anyone know where I can download the new Suse 9.2? Pro, if possible.

Thanks,
Jim.

Pro isn't available for download, you have to buy it. Mirrors for Personal are here then search LQ for instructions on changing it to Pro with help from YAST.

doesn't appear to be availble. I'm still not sure how much Novell are changing SUSE's release stragegies, but as with older distro's all that is available at suse.com is live cd's for 9.2. you can happily get the 9.1 personal cd's though.

ftp://ftp.ale.org/pub/suse/i386/9.2/

The 9.2 folder there for example isn't a full OS. I'm confused.

awesome. I think I'll just stick with 9.1 til it's fully out. Thank you

I'm assuming you were referring to 9.1 Personal, as 9.2 Personal isn't available via FTP yet. Note: 9.1 Personal *and* Pro are available via FTP. The only difference is one is publicized and the other is not.

9.2 should be available via FTP in a month or so, I think, or rather, about a month after 9.2 Personal iso's are made available, if Novell sticks with the same plan. But, they may not, as last year they released an iso for 9.1, which they deserve great credit for doing and which has helped to expand their community reach.

I do miss the 9.0 LiveCD ability to save basic user settings (KDE, email, bookmarks) settings as three files on your computer so you could load the CD and not have to start from scratch again each time. This is the LiveCD I would give to friends to play with for a few weeks, so they could boot back in each time without having to redo initial settings, allowing them to grow accustomed to Linux, in hopes they'd eventually switch over. Other distros didn't save settings, like SuSE 9.1> started, meaning that it was good to try out a couple of times but too annoying to use to draw people over by sucking them in over a period of a few weeks until they were ready to make the leap and load Linux on a drive. If anyone from SuSE is paying attention, it might be worth considering doing this again in an effort to become the LiveCD of choice amongst newbies and as a tool to draw them in to loading SuSE linux rather than another distro.

there will not be a 9.2 personal, only pro and student. student seems to be the same except for pricing. pro is available for download from some torrent sites. if you know how to find google you will find them

Hmm... where? I've have already done that googling for that exact thing but came up empty...

Suse 9.2 is available on Suprnova.org. Although the one I ordered came in the mail before it finished downloading!

And update also....which is identical to the full version except it is missing the User Manual. You can do a full install with the update version without a prior version of SUSE already being installed.

Also, unless Novell specificially says they are allowing the torrent downloads, you are either downloading illegal copies or else you are getting fake copies. I wouldn't recommend it.

You can buy it from http://www.linuxcd.org/ for fairly cheap, although no manuals or support is included.
