is suse linux not free?

[febisfebi]

i was trying to install suse linux, when i found that there was no place to download iso's of it. I am wondering if it is not under the GNU license agreement, or just where and how to get it.

did you go here??

It is free but you won't find any Suse full ISO's. The only think you'll find are the evaluation isos. You'll have to get it from their ftp site.

Apparently you can only download the evaluation version.

Nothing wrong with paying a few dollars to keep these companies in business. I always purchase mine.

Hi must agree with Logon, there is nothing wronk paying some $, if fact i bought my Suse 6.3 (with 6 cd's) It was very cheep, at less here in Portugal, but however i do agree as well with the free stuff, because im most of the time broke :). And i have suse 7.0/7.2 for free, i downloaded directly from suse.

I was actually going to buy it before i found that the cheapest place to get it was $69.99, which would be a large hunk of money for me, so i went to see if i could downloa it. I will wait for 7.3 to come out, and i will try a net install i guess.

You guys may have to wait a while it's take SuSe sometime before they put on latest and greatest version.

which version is that..

[Ludootje]

if i would buy it, and then a new version is released, do i have to buy that one too or can i download a non-evaluation version from suse.com cause i'd have already payed for it once?

You would have to check with SuSE to see if they offer a free (or discounted) upgrade if you purchase the current version within a certain time period before the new one is released.
