SUSE Linux 9.3 FTP Version Released

twener writes "Nine weeks after the official release of SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional Novell has made available the FTP edition for everyone as a 4.2GB DVD ISO image (both i586 and x86_64) or 5 CD images (stripped-down, i586 only) on their mirrors. Additionally, all until-now missing RPMs have been uploaded, so you can also do a network installation using the 57MB netinstall ISO." Update: 06/27 19:37 GMT by T : Yes, that's RPMs, not RMPs. Sorry!

    How has the takeover by Novell affected your perception of the stability of the system? I stopped running SuSE somewhere around 8.2 when a binary driver from Adaptec, certified on both SuSE and RedHat, ran stabiliy on RH 9.0 and locked up under load on SuSE. I was sorry to let it go, as RH's desktop at that point seemed to unfinished in comparison.

    I had always liked the overall polish of the system, and stuck with it even after they abandoned rc.config for the standard (sigh) sys-v init.d scripts. It was, at the time, similar to RH in being cutting edge, without taking that last step over the cliff.
