The servers are getting hammered at the minute.

Which is why I would recommend torrents to anyone interested in this.

I will remove my old SUSE torrents from seeding and add these in to replace them. Thanks for the heads-up.

EDIT: Full list of torrents here: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/iso/torrent/

or go through the pretty web interface to select your architecture, media, etc. on the "software" page in the first post.

I would recommend the torrents listing link I posted earlier. That way you aren't relying on a Novell/SUSE server that is probably under quite a load at the moment.

This new release (at least according to the Downloadsquad.com review is VERY snappy and fast, and the new GNOME desktop is well done, and overall they loved it. I think they said it was now the best Linux desktop around and said Ubuntu has new competition etc. I could be mistaken of course, I didn't read the entire review.

I just downloaded the 64-bit DVD, I'll load up the Live environment and check it out since my X-Fi will work under Linux now (and more distros support it out of the box as well) so I'm good to go.

At one point SuSE was the height of what Linux could offer as a distro.

It had KDE, ReiserFS, YaST (which was ground-breaking at the time).

They switched to Gnome. Dropped ReiserFS for bog-standard ext3. And I haven't heard of much improvement beyond YaST. They always did have nice polish on their distro, though, from what I have seen.

Just installed it last night from the DVD and replaced my 10.3 installation. Install went quick and without a hitch, did a one-click install for my nVidia graphics drivers, and everything is running perfectly so far.

Much improved installation experience over 10.3 right out of the box.

Well it's probably good that they dropped reiserfs now, because we don't really know what's going to happen to it with the whole reiser thing.
