Hungary checking in. Just got my set in today - shipping time was 3 weeks or so from when the Novell guy mailed me after the delay to add SLES 9 (vs SLES 8). It looks pretty. Installing tomorrow night ;)

Don't worry - the white "marks" on the discs are just bits of cardboard/paper - the discs them selves, after pulling out, are 100% fine.

Ah well ur from Hungary so that might have something to do with the really long wait. I got my email today so I'm gonna say at least a week before it comes to me. (canada). And then I'll need to just wait it out till I get a dvd drive.

I noticed all the disks say EVALUATION ONLY... Does this mean they arnt the full thing? Or is that just saying you cant re-sell it.

I have (and others have, too) offered to share our copies of the Novell SUSE kit.

The closest person to you that is willing to share can probably send you thier set. :yes:

I'm sure if you're really interested, contact one of their customer support people. Seriously, big corps (IBM, Novell, Sun, etc) are always willing to help here or there, especially with demos and kits and such. Yeah there's a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo included (some of it is actually a decent read), but this is how these companies continue to help their name out in the world - and Novell is on this big push right now as they migrate from OldWorldMega NetWare to NewWorldMega Linux company.

Talk to Customer Relations or an Account Manager or something. This is what these people are there for.
