Hello,
I suspect that most of you have heard that Suse is opening up its
operating system, after the fashion of the Fedora Core project
but, in case you hadn't, I thought I'd drop a note, as I
understand some of you use Suse.
It's now widely reported that they are trying to gain community
support and make the system easier to deploy. They will have, at
some point in the future (not up yet) a Web site --
www.opensuse.com -- as home for the new project.

##### SuSE has always been freely distributed. I just downloaded
the 5-CD set of the latest version of SuSE 9.3 Professional a week
or two ago. It does not include some items they have to pay a
license fee for, but everything else is there.
So does this mean they're going to stop the free distribution?
Maybe I don't understand what the change is going to be.

Yes, I've downloaded that, too. This is a new aspect. Here's a URL
that might help. It was widely reported that day, incl. NewsForge.

##### Thanks William. It makes more sense now. Your comparison to
Fedora led me to believe that SuSE Professional would no longer be
available for download, but that doesn't appear to be the case,
rather, development versions will be available in source. Sounds
like a positive move.
