SuSE 7.1 download?

[Fin015]

Anyone know where I can find it? I know it's "available" but I'm not sure if it's downloadable yet. If anyone knows where I can get it I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks,

Maybe there will be some soon at Linuxiso.org/suse (http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html) but I think it'll be just an evolution version...

What's the difference between an eval version of one of SuSE's releases and a full version? Are they akin to the downloadable vs. purchased versions of RedHat or other distro's (ie. no manuals, service, etc.), or are there further differences?

And I don't see it on their FTP server :( I was looking forward to getting it... but oh well.

The Evolution Ver. is just one CD...if you want the rest you have to buy it

Ok, now that I've decided to download the evaluation version, I'm having problems with the .iso file. I've gotten the "live-evaluation-i386-70.iso" from two different sites (thank god for college net connections). With both of them, Adaptec Easy CD Creator has complained that the images are damaged, yet they are exactly size they should be. Has anyone else run into the same problem? Should I try the other (non-evaluation) 7.0 image? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

The eval version will be available for download later this month that is info I received from Suse in Cali. They said it would be available once you saw it in their online store. You can buy it at Best Buy right now if you can't wait. That is one thing I can't stand about Suse they will ship something before it's even beta tested in the field. So you can go ahead and buy it but if you don't like it or it's buggy your stuck. People slam Redhat and Mandrake all the time but at least they put a beta out there for multiple people to view before they ship the final product. I guess Suse feels that comfortable with thier beta testers.
