SuSE 9.1 Available for Download

Posted by michael on from the gecko-power dept.

Aiua writes "Novell and SuSE AG have made the Live Evaluation CD of SuSE Linux 9.1 available for download. A list of mirrors carrying the 680MB ISO image is available on the SuSE Website. The Live CD allows you to test some of the new features of 9.1 without installation, and is a SuSE recommended download to test your computer for distribution compatability. The full Personal and Professional Editions are now shipping and available for purchase in the SuSE Store or your local reseller." Reader Sweetshark points out that the first release of the Live CD has problems, so make sure you get the most recent one: "SUSE Security Announcement: Live CD 9.1 (SuSE-SA:2004:011) describes a big security hole in the SuSE 9.1 Personal Edition Live CD: 'Upon boot, the Live CD will automatically configure a network card if one has been detected. [...] A configuration error on the Live CD allows for a passwordless, remote root login to the system via ssh, if the computer has booted from the Live CD and if it is connected to a network.' A fixed iso is available."

    A configuration error on the Live CD allows for a passwordless, remote root login to the system via ssh, if the computer has booted from the Live CD and if it is connected to a network.

    If this were a Microsoft or Apple product...

    Why are you guys putting up commercials for SuSE??!!

    Are you getting paid for this? I sincerely hope this is NOT the case.

    YaST is evil. SuSE is evil. Use LFS instead. ;-)

    Alright, most of you are probably 15 year olds who have their parents pay for broadband. Why do you need the .iso files? Are you going to burn them and hand them out? Or even sell them? Lamers

    Just do an ftp install or save your paper boy money and buy the professional version. I can't stand the leeches (both physically and mentally) always corrupting the community's appearance. You all all leeches and should burn in hell.
