Whats the Average Support Life Cycle of SUSE?
 

I don't mean to sound ignorant or anything but what is the Life Cycle of A official or Open Version of SUSE?

I've been using Open Suse for quite sometime now.
And have never been able to find an answer to this question.

And I just laid my hands on A NIB SUSE Professional 9.3 off of Amazon "REAL CHEAP" and I was just wondering how long the Life Cycle of Support was once A Version is released?

PLEASE Excuse my ignorance, But I was just curious.

As Open SUSE is easy and "CHEAP" enough to dwnld.
But I can't afford to buy the official version's Release all of the time.

Thanks for your help in advance.:study:

The life cycle is two years.

Thanks for the link. But now the real "STUPID" question.
I couldn't find it on the link you sent me.

Whats the ftp: server address, Directory Tree etc.
That I need to put in so that I can get what they have made?

And I take it I'll still have access to the regular Program dwnlds for their games and stuff?

I used one distro for a year then once the subscription ran out to their dwnld service, I was "SCREWED"....

Needless to say I left them in the dust "REAL" Quick.

Thanks again...:)
