Suse 9.1 etc for FREE


Recommended Posts

LOC have u recieved this stuff :) ??? I mean its kind of freaking coz its all for free and in the market it cost quite a lot! Bad marketing or maybe good publicity :laugh: !

Its really good marketting actually. Novel is known for its certifications and good support. It is intended for users learning at home and not for deployment in a workzone. They make their money in support, like most other distros, mostly.

No I just ordered it myself a few days ago.

I have however gotten several of these kits from Red Hat and IBM etc.

Suse already has sent me 9.1 for review purposes, but I wanted to have Ximian and all the other products to test out also.

It's just a nice company advertisement type thing. :)

Anyone know if these are like Boxed copies?

The SUSE quoted is the Profesional version...

[EDIT: All items will ship without manuals, I am sure.]

HOLY CRAP!!!

suse pro by itself is 90 bucks.

I know! :woot:

LOC is sharing quite a find! (Y)

[EDIT: And the SUSE Server lists for 499EUR (US$600) with a year of service - service not included in this package, but quality software none-the-less!]

I've always wanted to try out SuSE Server but it's so expensive ($449US). This is so awesome. :woot:

Novell r0x0rz! :D

This looks cool but if you just want SuSE 9.1 its always been available for free download from ftp.suse.de and many mirrors. However if you don't have broadband or want all the other stuff then this seems like a great deal.

I think that this is the 'nicer' version.

[EDIT: Nevermind. The FTP install will get you the Personal edition, but you can always manually find and install the other optional items. I don't see anything difficult to get in the list of Professional.]

    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
