Hi,

I need a distro for SUSE Linux 10.1 the SLES version. Can anyone suggest a really fast source?

Thanks

if you mean you need the iso's for SLES which is at version 10 then you can download it from the novell download center:-

http://www.novell.com/products/server/

if your refering to openSuse 10.1 then remastered iso's can be found here:-

mirrors here:-

Thanks for your fast reply

It is SLES that I need and I did go to the Novell site but didn't want to go through the registration procedure and end up on their mailing list after having to fill out a questionaire and so on. Also, their download speed isn't too hot so I was hoping someone would have a torrent to download it but of course, SLES is a commercial product so I'm not sure whether or not there would be a valid torrent available. No problem though, I've started downloading it from Novell now. Unfortunately, the server I'm installing it on only has a CDROM drive so I'm forced to download 4 ISOs.

REDHAT / CentOS mirrors are faster

I'm doing an evaluation of some software and it requires either the commercial version of RH or enterprise version of SUSE. The latter I can get for free, not so with RH unfortunately so SUSE it is. 36kB/sec it's downloading from Novell at

As i understand it you can get both SuSe SLES and RHEL4 for trial /free with x number of days updates once x days has run out you then have to pay.

Although i could be wrong.

SLES10 is a little buggy so people say

The desktop on the other hand is awesome

You're right about SUSE SLES, I didn't know that about RHEL4 though. I'm only running the one application on it so I'm hoping I won't need any support (!). Novell have sent me the information for the trial/evaluation updates so I'm ready to go once the last ISO has downloaded
